The Third Angelby Alice Hoffman |
Arlene Almas:
: "The Third Angel" is really three stories in one: Maddy goes to London (I think I'm really addicted to stories taking place in England!) for her sister Allie's wedding to Paul;
Frieda grows from a young swinging single in London to a wife and mother (of Paul) in the countryside;
and Lucy, Maddy and Allie's mother, has a very disturbing experience on a trip to
London as a young teenager which explains some of the events in Maddy's
and Frieda\'s narratives. I didn't enjoy this novel a great
deal - the thoughts of the characters and the author's language felt a bit too simple.
But the plot does kind of pull the reader along, and it's an easy read.
