内容简介

With her signature "vivid， convincing characters [and] uncommon insight，" (People) Alice Hoffman in Illumination Night follows the lives of an old woman whose last mission is to save her granddaughter's soul; a family torn apart by a wife's fears and a husband's desires-and a high school girl who comes to Martha's Vineyard against her will， and who will bring everyone together in a web of yearning， sin， and ultimate redemption.

"[A] bright constellation of characters...draws the reader into the dusky， dreamy world of Alice Hoffman." (St. Petersburg Times)

"Alice Hoffman hits bull's eyes on the incomprehensions between the young and the old， on the magic and pain of ordinary life. She is erotic and romantic...funny...clever and humane.
