Okay, I am a huge Alice Hoffman fan, but I have to say I had a really hard time getting into this novel. Having said that, by the time I got to the end I couldn't put it down. So... take from that what you will.
The Third Angel is three inter-connecting stories about three women in long with the wrong guy, in three different eras. The connecting thread is The Lion Park Hotel and Lucy Green. The story moves back in time, from present day to the 60's hippie era to the prim 1950's. I have to say, I didn't like the present-day characters as much as I liked the other characters, and I found the older stories slightly more in keeping with the mystical realism that I love so much from Ms. Hoffman.
I also liked the way the stories are connected, it's not an obvious connection, and there are some lovely little surprises... like a certain young man from Liverpool. At any rate, a hard-to-get-into but ultimately enjoyable read.
