Incantation
by Alice Hoffman
I'm always eager for more Alice Hoffman, so I was delighted to find some of her shorter works in my library's audiobook section. And really, I could not ask for a better story than the one I found in INCANTATION.
The story is short, but beautiful. Every sentence has hidden depths; every word is a poem. The imagery is astounding in its brilliance, and the prose made my heart ache with the beauty, wonder, and the tragedy of it all. INCANTATION is the perfect remedy and spice for readers overfull of YA dystopia that's about big blockbuster teenage rebellion. Hoffman is all subtlety and craft. This book is a spell that will make you weep as it hugs you comforting close.
