There was no New England weather, no real magic (excepting the weird ghost explanation), no generations of fated sisters. Yes, some connections appeared in this very linear novel, but with very little circling back to hit home. What was the point? What was the Third Angel? ( )I had an extremely hard time getting into this book. I loved Practical Magic, so I had high hopes for this book but I was disappointed. This book has a select audience. Most of us were unimpressed with the writing style. I found this book a little hard to follow, but the writing was good and it did keep me reading. A haunted London hotel is the setting of 3 tragic tales. In the first story a young woman falls in love with a man doomed to die. The second involves a woman who tries to save a drug addict. The third is about how the hotel became haunted in the first place. This story is complex and beautiful. I enjoyed the way Hoffman tied the 3 stories together. Alice HOffman is one of my favorite writers; her stories never disappoint. no reviews | add a review
