My daughter actually read it before me, and she told me it was lovely. I picked it up yesterday and read it in a few sittings... and she was right. This is another beautiful, haunting, heart-breaking story about Green. She lost everything a year ago, but is now rebuilding her life. Still, she longs for the boy she loves and sets out on a wondrous quest...
This is another wonderfully-written story by Alice Hoffman. She certainly has a way with words, and can convey so much emotion in just one sentence. Her stories always touch my heart, so I'm going to have to go out of my way to read more of them. She's a brilliant storyteller.
This passage from the book is about love, and it truly is amazing:
"You have to be willing to give everything away. You have to be willing to end up with nothing.
Only then will your heart be whole."
Last night, I ordered Green Heart, which actually contains both books. Can't wait to receive it. :)
