quinndm 's review for:

The World That We Knew by Alice Hoffman

4.0

---

Magical. Magical in the literal and emotional sense. Magical because of the writing style and the reader’s reaction to those words. Magical because this book changes you, it marks you, and it forever transforms the way you look at motherly love, at sacrifice, and all living things. Magical because, when the world gets dark, we need something hopeful and transcendent to believe in.
