'When it comes to blending magic and the mundane routines of life, there's no finer writer than Alice Hoffman – but even she has outdone herself with her latest novel. THE STORY SISTERS hearkens back to the classic fairy tale, where one must suffer fear and loss before stumbling upon a happy ending. Hoffman reminds us with every sentence that words have the power to transport us to alternate worlds, to heal a broken heart, and to tie us irrevocably to the people we love.' Jodi Picoult'"Little Women" on mushrooms.' New York Times Book Review'This bewitching novel explores the bonds of sisterhood like a haunting modern fairy tale.' Glamour'The always dazzling Hoffman has outdone herself in this bewitching weave of psychologically astute fantasy and shattering realism….this is an entrancing and romantic drama shot through with radiant beauty and belief in human resilience and transformation.'
