Seventh Heaven

We are in heaven, Seventh Heaven, when reading this novel * The Times *
This is Alice Hoffman at her best, turning our eyes toward the ordinary surface of things to see the power that shimmers underneath -- Amy Tan
Ms. Hoffman's own talent is neither questionable nor in any danger of fading. She has complete control over this bustling story, shuffling its many vignettes as cleverly as she captures the nuances of its many voices. Her narrative has a very satisfying shape, but it's equally satisfying in its details * New York Times *
Brilliant and astonishing * Cosmopolitan *
Hoffman's most beguiling fiction to date * Times Literary Supplement *
Hoffman is a dreamy and mesmerising storyteller . . . Before you know it, you're half in love with the ordinary people who inhabit this book; you're seduced by their susceptibility to the remarkable * The New Yorker *
Stirring, stunning . . . By far (her) best book * Time Magazine *
A consummate joy . . . Magical * Washington Post Book World *
Hoffman has the magic, and if she wants to tell us about once-upon-a-time in Levittown, she'll keep us hooked all the way to happily ever after * Kirkus Reviews *
Seventh Heaven confirms her place as one of the finest writers of her generation * Newsweek *
