Here On Earth

by Alice Hoffman

Brilliance Audio | May 15, 1998 | Audio Book (Cassette)

March Murray, along with her fifteen-year-old daughter, Gwen, returns to the small Massachusetts town where she grew up to attend the funeral of Judith Dale, the beloved housekeeper who raised her. After nearly twenty years of living in California, March is thrust into the world of her past. She finds that Mrs. Dale knew more of life than March could have ever suspected; that her brother Alan, whose tragic history has left him grief-stricken, has turned to alcohol as his only solace; and that Hollis, the boy she once loved, is the man she can't seem to stay away from.
"Here on Earth" is the dramatic and lyrical account of the joys of love, as well as the destruction that love can release. Erotic, disturbing, and compelling, this is without a doubt Alice Hoffman's most unforgettable novel.

    Good story, but hated the main characters

    March has been gone from her small New England hometown for 18 years, but has returned with her 15-year old daughter, Gwen, for her housekeeper's (the woman who raised her) funeral. Her husband has stayed in California, and March is flooded with memories, in particular of her first love, Hollis, who is once again living in town. Too easily, March is drawn back to Hollis; meanwhile, Gwen is surprised to find that she likes it here.

    I have a hard time liking a book when I hate the main characters. As an adult, anyway, Hollis is an a$$ and March is just stupid. I really liked Gwen, though, and the story was pretty good. I just couldn't rate it higher due to how much I hated Hollis and March.

    I quite liked it!

    I'd heard mixed reviews of this and kept putting it off, but I quite liked it. I found the story kept me wanting more and I especially liked the young characters of Gwen and Hank. I found the "dark love" story between March and Hollis was believable and I was pleased that she had made her own decision about her future at the end -- that it wasn't made for her by circumstance.

    I though this book started slow, but it could have just been the way I read it. It was amazing though, no doubt about it.
