The Invisible Hour by Alice Hoffman

4.25

The latest book from the author of PRACTICAL MAGIC is a stunner! It truly gave me all of the fall feels and will definitely be added into my seasonal rotation. It was also so beautifully written, I truly felt I was in Blackwell, Salem, etc. wherever the characters happened to be at any given moment I could feel the crisp air and see the bright leaves in my head. I highlighted so many passages because the prose was just so stunning. Mia’s story of saving herself and her voyage of self discovery was so beautiful to witness and I simply LOVED how Nathaniel Hawthorne and his story/The Scarlet Letter were seamlessly woven in. It really felt like a love letter to books and stories and it was so moving. 

TL;DR… it’s got cults, it’s got magic, it’s got Salem, it’s got The Scarlet Letter, it’s got cozy fall vibes, it’s got beautiful musings about stories. READ IT!
