Commentary About Books Turtle Moon

Take another journey into the heart. That is what all of Alice Hoffman's books will do for you. She is an old soul who knows how to spin a fantastic tale ripe with the beingness of the human experience. This book is no exception.Turtle Moon was actually the first of her books which I read. I became an avid fan following this first experience. Ms. Hoffman delves into the richness of human relationships while exploring the mystical dimensions which we can all experience if we open ourselves to

Its May and that means theres something in the air in the town of Verity in eastern Florida. As the sea turtles make their yearly journey across West Main Street, the craze in the air (a mixture of stifling humidity and heat combined with superstition) settles upon Verity and its inhabitants. Babies become inconsolable, rattlesnakes band together in public use areas, and you might even see a grown man cry. You never know what youll find if you visit Verity in May. Newcomer, Lucy Rosen, is about

It took ten years, but I finally finished "Turtle Moon" by Alice Hoffman, an off-beat magical, romantic, mystery journey that several characters embark on after a runaway wife is murdered and her baby taken. Some reviewers called this novel suspenseful and thrilling, but its beat sways to the lazy, hot weather in Verity, Florida, where emotions drip like the sap from a gumbo tree and relationships are as messy as the squashed turtles on the road in May. One must wade through a muddled beginning,

I really like the way Alice Hoffman writes. Her novels tend to include an element of the magical or the mystical that appeals to me. She has an uncanny ability to use elements of the natural world not only to describe the setting but also to reveal the thoughts and feelings of her characters. In Turtle Moon, the wild marshy area where Julian Cash makes his home parallels his wild nature before he encounters the "meanest boy in Verity." Turtle Moon is all about finding one's true home, or, put

After leaving her New York husband, Lucy finds herself in the midst of like women who have happened upon Verity, Florida. The Florida heat, the jungle-like forests, the insects, and the powerful force of May madness thrust Lucy in the midst of a murder and the mysterious disappearance of her 12 year old son. All of these characters are interesting, entertaining, and surprising when Hoffman unveils their true selves. The scene stealer, though, is Arrow, the barely civilized tracking dog that

ugh. I absolutely do not like to read books after just reading a really good one. Everything pales in comparison. That's what happened here with Turtle Moon. After reading Skylight Confessions, I decided I wanted to read more books by Alice Hoffman, so I made a list of the ones I wanted to read and figured I'd buy any of them that I saw in the thrift stores I frequent. Well, I saw Turtle Moon and Here On Earth both at a Goodwill in La Crosse and was pretty torn between which one looked better.

This was my first Alice Hoffman novel and she immediately became my absolute favourite author. I can only describe Alice's writing as poetry in the novel form. I often have to stop at the end of a sentence and close my eyes, so I can imagine it, smell it, or feel it brush past my skin. Her writing is so vivid I sometimes think I absorb her words rather than just read them. Quirky, raw, heartbreaking and lovely. Treat yourself to every single one.
