“The Ice Queen,” by Alice Hoffman

The Ice Queen: My first Alice Hoffman novel. On around page 80- reading while reading some other books. Reduced to tears within the first three pages…there’s a reason I am going through a “Chick-Lit phase with books.” My soul is too sensitive for the deeper waters right now, but goodness, when the book is brilliant, wasn’t it worth it? Sort of like great love, you know.

What a brilliant writer with amazing prose……………….
Well! Rip my heart out Alice Hoffman.

God! ”The Ice Queen” genuinely moved me in ways I did not want to remember the depth of dispair.  Then drudging up something that taps deep into the sacred places of my soul. This book blew me out of this world, to a point I had to cry silently after I had finished. And, then I could not hold all of the emotions that came undone after furtively reading this book inbetween another Sophie Kinsella novel. Now I know what all of the fuss is about when it comes to Alice Hoffman. Rock Star is more like it! A must read for the deeper souls out there that like to feel edgy, soulful and remember life can be brutally harsh, yet full of hope and butterflies near the ocean….
