Angel Landing

By: Alice Hoffman

Narrated by: Tavia Gilbert

The best-selling author of Practical Magic tells the tale of a man and a woman, an activist and a therapist, so consumed with helping others that they are in danger of failing in their duty to themselves.

Natalie, a therapist, is in love with Carter - but he is deeply dedicated to his environmental work, and the fate of their relationship takes a backseat to the fate of the planet. Then a new client walks into Natalie's office. He is an intriguing man, with an incredible tale to tell, and under his influence she faces questions about the direction of her own passion, the true meaning of commitment…and the possibility of finding the love she seeks - right in her own backyard.

Mediocre Alice

In previous Hoffman’s writings, I’ve literally been swept away by her gorgeous prose and genius story telling style.
Not so Angel Landing. I was soooo disappointed- a trite predictable story with none of the gorgeous analogies, descriptive prose and deliciously surprising, twisting and turning prosei admit I listened to the bitter end but it was a “write by numbers” book-shame on you Alice!

mentally scrumptious

Loved the story. As usual, I had a grin on my face after reading one of Ms. Hoffman's tales. She's an expert at weaving with words a wonderful tapestry in one"s mind. Mentally scrumptious.

Beautiful

I am enthralled with Alice Hoffman and the way she crafts words into stories. Ms. Hoffman has a way of drawing a reader in and expanding one’s mind to a place one could never visit otherwise. I don’t know if this story would touch anyone else in the way it touched me. What I can know is if you are the type of reader who values a well written story, full of dynamic characterizations and authentic settings, you may want to spend time listening to “Angel Landing”.

Amazing writer

What a book that evokes a full introspective to society and the cultivation of all aspects of their struggles.a most amazing book that reflects our identification within the characters.such a wonderful plot with realism of characters that drew me into this story.

not a favorite

I've been attached to Alice Hoffman as one of my favorite writers for years.. but this is not a favorite book. Finn is complex and interesting but Natalie I couldn't warm up to. The supporting characters are very strong but the romance doesn't seem to flow naturally to me...
