Description

A “captivating...truly original novel” (Cosmopolitan) from the New York Times bestselling author of The Rules of Magic.

“Ms. Hoffman writes quite wonderfully about the magic in our lives and in the battered, indifferent world.”—The New York Times Book Review

When Keith Rosen runs away from his Florida home—inexplicably taking along a motherless baby—his mother is perplexed, terrified, and ultimately takes off on her own journey to find him. The story of a divorced woman, her disillusioned teenage son, and the events that change their lives in ways both simple and extraordinary, Turtle Moon follows their path, in a suspenseful, beautifully written story that confirms once again the exquisite talent of Alice Hoffman.

    Such vivid, oddball descriptions of feelings and emotions, like nothing I’ve read before. Wasn’t sure I cared for, or even liked, these characters until I realized I HAD to finish to see what happens!
