Praise for Turtle Moon

A spectacular novel

Susan Isaacs, Washington Post Book World

Hard to put down-full of characters who take hold of your heart

San Francisco Examiner

Alice Hoffman is at the top of her form in her latest novel... The triumphs of Turtle Moon lie in its humane insights and compassionate epiphanies; its lustrous prose and its seductive landscape

Hoffman writes wonderfully about the magic in our lives and in the battered, indifferent world... Magnificent
