Critical Praise

"A thrilling adventure of literary alchemy . . . A magical, mystical tour de force of pure entertainment."--- The Seattle Times"Delicious . . . Hoffman is an unapologetic optimist, and optimism is in short supply these days. It feels like a vacation to curl up with [The Probable Future]."--- The New York Times Book Review"Hoffman has perfected her very own entrancing style of magical realism and mystical romance anchored to the moody, history-laden Massachusetts countryside. . . . Hoffman's newest cast of characters is unfailingly magnetic, from her eye-rolling teenagers to her wryly in-love seniors to her suddenly aflame fortysomethings, and the story she tells is as lush as it is suspenseful, as rich in earthy and sensuous detail as it is sweet and hopeful."--- Booklist&"Full-bodied, wholly absorbing characters . . . Hoffman's storytelling is as spellbinding as ever."--- Publishers Weekly
