From the New York Times Bestselling
Author of The Third Angel Alice Hoffman’s previous novel, The Third Angel, was hailed
as "an unforgettable portrait of the depth of true love"
(USA Today), "stunning" (Jodi Picoult), and "spellbinding"
(Miami Herald). Her new novel, The Story Sisters, charts the
lives of three sisters–Elv, Claire, and Meg. Each has a fate
she must meet alone: one on a country road, one in the
streets of Paris, and one in the corridors of her own
imagination. Inhabiting their world are a charismatic man
who cannot tell the truth, a neighbor who is not who he
appears to be, a clumsy boy in Paris who falls in love and
stays there, a detective who finds his heart’s desire, and a
demon who will not let go. What does a mother do when one of her children goes astray?
How does she save one daughter without sacrificing the
others? How deep can love go, and how far can it take you?
These are the questions this luminous novel asks. At once a coming-of-age tale, a family saga, and a love
story of erotic longing, The Story Sisters sifts through the
miraculous and the mundane as the girls become women and
their choices haunt them, change them and, finally, redeem
them. It confirms Alice Hoffman’s reputation as "a writer
whose keen ear for the measure struck by the beat of the
human heart is unparalleled" (The Chicago Tribune).
