Query: Sorry Alice, didn't like this one much at all. .. .

I kept expecting the book to get better, but it never achieved what started out as an adult fairy tale with spiritual significance and mystical influence. There were only a couple of time that I felt sincerely moved by a passage in the book. Its a good thing I read Here On Earh, and At Risk before Turtle Moon or I may never have given Hoffman any more of my reading time. This is a good childrens's book (teens); however its mentally and emotionally lacking for the mature reader.
