Skylight Confessions

Visually stunning, frequently heart-wrenching

Daily Telegraph

Alice Hoffman's novels are a beguiling mix of the ordinary and the extraordinary. Bitter everyday occurrences - broken marriages, disappointed lives - are transformed under her tender gaze into magical, heart-breaking fables... Hoffman acknowledges the weight of this pain in mesmerisingly graceful prose, while the spareness of her style allows for hope's infinite possibilities in even the most daunting of circumstances

Eithne Farry, Daily Mail

A novel that plays with the subconcsious, weaving together magic and myth and a kind of realism. Hoffman is an excellent storyteller with a beguilingly mystical bent

Time Out

Fans of The Time Traveller's Wife will love this... this is a magical, heartbreaking book

Easy Living magazine

A magical, haunting read, full of hidden passions, heartbreak and ghosts

Glamour

The dream-like nature of the narrative is well constructed and oddly plausible

Ludovic Hunter-Tilney, Financial Times

Skylight Confessions leaves us sad, yet satisfied, as though we have eaten something bitter yet organic. The Greeks might have called the feeling catharsis...the Moodys are reminiscent of an ancient tragic house

Zoe Strimpel, Times Literary Supplement

Hoffman is, in many ways, that much-misunderstood phenomenon: a novelist of ideas...This central idea of her work...is what makes the novels she has produced to date (every one a genuine page-turner) both more interesting and more rewarding than either Hollywood, or some critics, realise

John Burnside, Scotsman
