Here on Earth
by Alice Hoffman
This is an Oprah Book Club pick.
I have typically been an Alice Hoffman fan.
We have discussed a few of her books in our Library Book Discussion Group.
She has a way of sharing a back story and giving you in depth characterizations, some magical realism, that gives the reader the opportunity to dig deep and feel yourself pulled into the richness of story…sometimes hoping for a happy ending, or at least a satisfying conclusion.
But this book, what happened?
There wasn’t anybody to like.
This was dark.
Disturbing.
What was Oprah thinking?
What was I thinking in continuing to read it?
Needless to say, I extricated myself from it early.
