Here on Earth

by Alice Hoffman

Berkley Mass Market | July 1, 1999 | Mass Market Paperbound

The bestselling author of Practical Magic and Turtle Moon now tells her most seductive and mesmerizing story. After nineteen years in California, March Murray returns to the small Massachusetts town where she grew up. For all this time, March has been avoiding her own troubled history, but when she encounters Hollis -- the boy she loved so desperately, the man who has never forgotten her -- the past collides with the present as their reckless love is reignited. This dark, romantic tale asks whether it is possible to survive a love that consumes you. The answers that March Murray discovers are both heartbreaking and wise, as complex as they are devastating -- for in heaven and in our dreams, love is simple and glorious. But it is something altogether different here on earth...

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.
