Representaion To Books Here on Earth

After nearly twenty years of living in California, March Murray, along with her fifteen-year-old daughter, Gwen, returns to the sleepy Massachusetts town where she grew up to attend the funeral of Judith Dale, the beloved housekeeper who raised her. Yet returning to her hometown also brings her back to Hollis, March’s former soul mate and lover. March’s father had taken the teenaged Hollis, an abandoned child, and the product of a series of detention homes, into his house as a boarder, and treated him like a son. Yet March and Hollis’s passionate love was hardly a normal sibling relationship. When Hollis left her after a petty fight, March waited for him three long years, wondering what she had done wrong.

Encountering Hollis again makes March acutely aware of the choices that she has made, and the choices everyone around her has made—including Mrs. Dale, who knew more of love than March could ever have suspected, and her brother Alan, whose tragic history has left him grief-struck, with alcohol as his only solace. Her attraction to Hollis is overwhelming—and March jeopardizes her marriage, her relationship with her daughter and her own happiness in an attempt to reclaim the past.

Discuss Epithetical Books Here on Earth

Parts of this book were very good - it sort of wraps you into this small town, nostalgic way of life, that I really appreciated. It was good to read now, at the end of October/November as things get cold, since the FALL and WINTER weather actually really comes alive for her. I just am not convinced, can I say that...I didn't really like the turns the characters took, and I didn't really feel the characterization very much. They were more stereotyped and superficial than I could fully get behind.

DNF at page 38.This is a modern version of Wuthering Heights. I liked Wuthering Heights but I didn't love it. I'm glad I read it because it is a different classic, and a different romance. The fact that I buddy read it helped a lot. Now, I don't think I can't go through this again. I disliked every minute I spent with this book. This is the second book I tried by Alice Hoffman and the second I DNF. Maybe she is not my type of author. I still have some by her in my TBR. Let's see.

Hoffman did a wonderful job in writing this book. The characters have a lot of depth and are brought to life with her vivid words. Her writing style in this book is very descriptive and sometimes poetic. The way she describes love is so profound, its not the sort of description that is lengthy and you want to just skim over, no, its lyrical and holds your interest. Now, the characters, hmmmm, where to begin? They are so real and my distaste for March and my strong dislike for Hollis are also

This quite possibly rates the worst book I have ever read. The characters range from stupid to hedonistic The only reason I finished was that I hated the main character so much, I was hoping to read of his undoing. I did briefly believe that either the friend Susie or the daughter Gwen would make this a much more enjoyable book by putting Hollis in his place, but alas that happens quite anti-climatically with him destroying himself, and they end the book not as near as strong characters as could

SOME SPOILERS:Here on Earth was the second Hoffman book I read, following closely on the heels of the magnificent Practical Magic, but it's by far my favorite. I had a strong emotional reaction to the book even before I found out it was based on Wuthering Heights, one of my obsessions. When March Murray returns to her hometown after some 15 years, she alternately dreads and craves a reunion with her childhood sweetheart. Hollis, now a wealthy and darkly handsome man, knows it's only a matter of

fulfilling book riot's 2018 read harder challenge task #13: an oprah book club selectionextry points given to me, by me, for choosing a book that i have owned for more than a year.it has been a long time since i have given a book a two-star rating, but this book earned it. im not someone who takes delight in negativity, and even if im not in love with a book, im usually able to find something neutral and deflecting to say about it, or at the very least, i'm able to suggest the correct audience

Recognize this story? Wealthy father brings home street urchin, sister likes him, brother not so much. Already damaged by life on the streets and experience in juvie, he is pushed over the edge by the brother's rough treatment. Obsessed with acquisitiveness, he takes off for parts unknown, makes his fortune, and returns to buy up everything that belongs to those who've annoyed him.If you guessed Wuthering Heights, you'd be correct - one reviewer drew that comparison, and rather gushingly.
