𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫: Alice Hoffman 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐞: 15 August 2023
I read this book over a weekend and adore this author. The Invisible Hour by Alice Hoffman found me reading into the early hours of Sunday morning. I will admit to being hooked on Hoffman since Practical Magic.
Meet Ivy. She is 16 years old and pregnant. Her boyfriend does not want anything to do with her, and her parents are horrified. They plan to send Ivy away so she can give birth and have the baby adopted. There’s only one problem with their plan. Ivy wants to keep her baby. Readers run away with Ivy to a commune run by an autocratic leader in an apple orchard. Mia is born, and her journey of time, love, and heartbreak begins.
I found the way Hoffman tackled the theme of what happens when women are not in control of their bodies to be beautiful. There is a magic in Hoffman’s writing that cannot be replicated. End your summer with a magical treat and grab a copy from your local bookstore when The Invisible Hour hits shelves in August!
Thank you to Netgalley and Atria Books for an eARC in exchange for my honest review!
