The Third Angel

A Novel

By: Alice Hoffman

Narrated by: Nancy Travis

A magical and stunningly original story that charts the lives of three women in love with the wrong men from the bestselling author of Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick, The Rules of Magic

“Headstrong women, reckless love affairs and a liberal dusting of the supernatural are the pleasurable trademarks of an Alice Hoffman novel. . . . [The Third Angel] should bewitch old fans and new readers alike.”—People

Headstrong Madeleine Heller finds herself hopelessly attracted to her sister’s fiancé. Frieda Lewis, a doctor’s daughter and a runaway, becomes the muse of an ill-fated rock star. And beautiful Bryn Evans is set to marry an Englishman while secretly obsessed with her ex-husband. At the heart of the novel is Lucy Green, who blames herself for a tragic accident she witnessed at the age of twelve, and who spends four decades searching for the Third Angel–the angel on earth who will renew her faith.

Brilliantly evoking London’s King’s Road, Knightsbridge, and Kensington while moving effortlessly back in time, The Third Angel is a work of startling beauty about the unique, alchemical nature of love.

Loved

This was a book I couldn’t put down or stop listening too! Devoured in 3 days!

I loved this book.

For some reason I was hesitant to listen to this book, but I loved it. Such a different story and so clever how it was presented by the author.

Alice Hoffman’s beautiful writing is a balm for the spirit.

The beautifully written story ties three lives together with empathy, compassion, and heartbreak. She tells stories about the full range of human emotions with elegance.

I don't know

I'm torn It was good, but it is not one of my favorite Alice Hoffman stories. I pushed through it. Ghost revelation was surprising, it made me want to keep reading, but I did struggle.

Thank you Alice Hoffman

I think I have read and listen to every Alice Hoffman book ... And each one brings forth so many emotions in its pages. I always hate it when they end. I wish I could write like Alice Hoffman… Better yet, I wish I could see like Alice Hoffman.
