Skylight Confessions
Autor Alice Hoffmanen Paperback – 10 feb 2008
Cool,
practical,
and
deliberate,
John
is
dreamy
Arlyn's
polar
opposite.
Yet
the
two
are
drawn
powerfully
together
even
when
it
is
clear
they
are
bound
to
bring
each
other
grief.
Their
difficult
marriage
leads
them
and
their
children
to
a
house
made
of
glass
in
the
Connecticut
countryside,
to
the
avenues
of
Manhattan,
and
to
the
blue
waters
of
Long
Island
Sound.
Glass
breaks,
love
hurts,
and
families
make
their
own
rules.
Ultimately,
it
falls
to
their
grandson,
Will,
to
solve
the
emotional
puzzle
of
his
family
and
of
his
own
identity.

Recenzii

shimmering,
multigenerational
melodrama

with
supernatural
imagery
while
imaginatively
dramatizing
all-too-common
heartaches."—Donna
