4.0 out of 5 stars Just scartch below the surface!, 2 April 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Thread That Binds the Bones (Paperback)
You'll enjoy this book if you are a lover of fantasy epics right down to those who like to have just a touch of magic in their stories. This book starts out normal enough with a young woman, Laura Bolte, going home for her cousins wedding; even though she dreads staying with her family. Through the story you find out that her family is very different from normal as they have all inherited magic, which seems to have gone wrong. It's up to Laura and a drifter she meets and takes home to sort it out!...

5.0 out of 5 stars So Close to Home, So Far Away..., 20 Oct 2006
By Lawrence E. Wilson "Lawrence Wilson" (East Sussex, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Thread That Binds the Bones (Paperback)
I picked this up by chance, was entranced by it, and immediately sought and bought everything I could find by Hoffman. Exactly the kind of story that I love, in that twilit area where This-world touches some Other-world---think of Zenna Henderson, think of Ray Bradbury, think of Marion Zimmer Bradley, but different, edgier, more close-to-home and more far-away... It's the story of an extended, inbred Family where half-magical, half-psychic powers are inherited, and one's status within the family dependent on the strength of those powers. Into this mix comes an outsider with powers like and unlike those of the Family, in love with a semi-outcast daughter, who together seem to be a hope for a very different future. An exciting adventure, with exact and careful characterization and evocative, beautiful writing. Its sequel, The Silent Strength of Stones, is just as interesting, and I am eager for the next Family novel.

This is one of those books I bought because the cover was interesting---not that we judge a book by its cover, but let's never forget that the cover is an integral part of the total book experience...
