The Invisible Hour by Alice Hoffman

5.0

I didn’t think anything Alice Hoffman wrote would surpass my feelings for The River King, long my favorite Hoffman book.

She did it with The Invisible Hour. Taking The Scarlet Letter, my favorite “classic” book as a stepping stone, Ms. Hoffman used the The Scarlet Letter to introduce Nathaniel Hawthorn as a writer before becoming known.

When I heard what this book was about I couldn’t wait to see how Hoffman would arrange the story. I think she did a fabulous job.

The Invisible Hour will now sit on top of The River King as my favorite Alice Hoffman book. A feat I didn’t expect or think possible.
