Four acclaimed novels by “a born storyteller,” the New York
Times–bestselling author of The Rules of Magic and The Dovekeepers
(Entertainment Weekly). One of today’s most beloved authors of
lyrical fiction with a touch of magic, Alice Hoffman boasts a body of
work that has been praised by readers and critics from the very
beginning. This collection includes her first novel, plus three more
of her outstanding tales. Property Of: Hoffman’s debut about
teenage girls in mascara and leather and their attraction to local
toughs is “a remarkably envisioned novel, almost mythic in its
cadences” (The New York Times). The Drowning Season intertwines
the stories of two women named Esther: a granddaughter, who yearns to
escape the Long Island shore and the coldness of the family matriarch;
and her grandmother, who fled her abusive parents in Russia decades
before. This novel “casts the spell of all great fairy tales. It
takes daily life and transforms it into myth as we watch” (Chicago
Sun-Times). Fortune’s Daughter: A New York Times Notable Book,
this luminous novel of a restless young traveler and a fortune-teller
with a secret is a tribute to the profound mysteries of motherhood and
childbirth from a writer who, in the words of Amy Tan, “takes
seemingly ordinary lives and lets us see and feel extraordinary
things.” At Risk is a New York Times bestseller that “will
leave few dry eyes” (Library Journal). In 1980s America, a family
copes with their daughter’s terrifying AIDS diagnosis.
