You may not judge a book by its cover, but looking at the title might be quite educational. Alice Hoffman does like to write about magic -- (I was mesmerized by Practical Magic -- both the book and the movie.) for both adults and teens. One can surmise that the elements of magic and spells will be used in this book. This is actually the sequel to a much earlier work, Green Angel.Green is a survivor, 17, Her farm was destroyed, by a group of fishers(the Horde) who despise all things modern and forward thinking.When this book opens her existence is mean and she is almost without hope and certainly love. This slim novella is about her journey towards love and self-acceptance and a re-connection with others.Lovely, lyrical writing..
