Book Review
Recommended as a work of magical realism, Blackbird House is a series of short stories centered around the occupants of a sprawling Cape Cod farmhouse over the span of 200 years.  Hoffman beautifully captures the tapestry of life with her vivid prose and paints a poignant picture of loss, longing and resilience.  Her words follow you long after you have left the pages behind.
