Here on Earth

March Murray, along with her 15-year-old daughter, Gwen, returns to the small Massachusetts town where she grew up to attend the funeral of Judith Dale, the beloved housekeeper who raised her. After nearly 20 years of living in California, March is thrust into the world of her past. She finds that Mrs. Dale knew more of life than March could have ever suspected; that her brother Alan, whose tragic history has left him grief-stricken, has turned to alcohol as his only solace; and that Hollis, the boy she once loved, is the man she can't seem to stay away from.

Here on Earth is the dramatic and lyrical account of the joys of love, as well as the destruction that love can release. Erotic, disturbing, and compelling, this is without a doubt Alice Hoffman's most unforgettable novel.

Loved it

In the beginning I disliked some of the characters but in the end I loved them all and the ending was perfect

pretty good

The narrator was excellent! I love Alice Hoffman, great story telling, captivating characters....but I found myself so frustrated & irritated by most of the characters in this book. It felt a bit unfinished as well.... the end didn't circle back to the 2 main female characters. Guess, this wasn't my favorite, but I didn't hate it.

excellant

great story, great performance.
enjoy! well placed. you will truly enjoy this story. good ending.

Not my fave

Interesting story and a little sad how being selfish matters. While very nostalgic- I didn’t like the characters at all.

Good Read

⭐️⭐️⭐️ I thought the end would be so much more climatic. Other than that it was really good!
