Faithful by Alice Hoffman
3.0
Practical Magic is one of my very favorite movies; I can watch it over and over but love it still. This was my first selection by the author of the book that inspired that beloved movie. I'm not certain what I was anticipating...certainly more of a magical aspect; though the idea of miracles was touched on, it was not really a focus of the book by any means. While there were portions of the book that I really enjoyed, such as Shelby's relationship with her mother, her purloined pets and Maravelle's kids as well as the sweet resolution to her postcard delivering angel, I was grateful it was a quick book. I'm not certain it would have held my interest much longer.There are so many other selections from Alice Hoffman that seem interesting so I look forward to the chance to find another offering from her that I just might love!
