Hoffman’s first novel, Property Of, was written at the age of twenty-one, while she was studying at Stanford, and published shortly thereafter by Farrar Straus and Giroux. She credits her mentor, professor and writer Albert J. Guerard, and his wife, the writer Maclin Bocock Guerard, for helping her to publish her first short story in the magazine Fiction. Editor Ted Solotaroff then contacted her to ask if she had a novel, at which point she quickly began to write what was to become Property Of, a section of which was published in Mr. Solotaroff’s magazine, American Review.

Green Angel Summary

The startling, universally acclaimed breakthrough YA novel from master bestselling author Alice Hoffman, now in paperback.

Left on her own when her family dies in a terrible disaster, fifteen-year-old Green is haunted by loss and by the past. Struggling to survive physically and emotionally in a place where nothing seems to grow and ashes are everywhere, Green retreats into the ruined realm of her garden. But in destroying her feelings, she also begins to destroy herself, erasing the girl she'd once been as she inks darkness into her skin. It is only through a series of mysterious encounters that Green can relearn the lessons of love and begin to heal enough to tell her story.

Ето и нещо интересно от мен
Ревю на книгата в The New York Times

THE ICE QUEEN. By Alice Hoffman. (Little, Brown,
$23.95.) The narrator of Hoffman's latest novel -- a tale of a
small-town librarian who has been emotionally frozen since childhood --
wouldn't be uncomfortable in a standard romance. Fittingly, she comes
alive after some hot sex with a charismatic but haunted loner, the kind
of man who rarely sticks around for a happy ending but still teaches her
Valuable Lessons. Hoffman writes intelligently and poignantly in the
voice of someone who blames herself for an early trauma. At times,
though, the metaphors overwhelm the storytelling. The title character,
who remains unnamed, begins to thaw only when she's struck by lightning.
After she hears about Lazarus Jones, another lightning-strike survivor
who was officially dead for 40 minutes, she seeks him out and discovers
that he's her opposite: so hot he almost scorches everything he touches.
Their first sexual encounter takes place in a bathtub -- perhaps not
the wisest spot to set off more sparks?
