“In a place where books were banned, there could be no personal freedom, no hope, and no dreams for the future… turn someone into a reader and you the world around.”

While I wasn’t sure where the story would go, I knew it was about a young woman, her love of literature, and how one particular book saved and changed her life. The Invisible Hour is a unique mixture of romance, historical fiction, and magic - it blends three genres that I don’t often see together but love individually.

For me, the true message behind The Invisible Hour is the power of reading and all the ways that books can introduce us to different people, places, and times. I was completely captivated by Hoffman’s writing style and was reminded why I gravitate toward her books this time of year.
