Alice Hoffman at Book Revue

Alice Hoffman will sign copies of her newest work, "The Red Garden," at 7 p.m. Jan. 28 at Book Revue.

"The Red Garden" is a transforming glimpse into small town America, presenting us with 300 years of passion, dark secrets, loyalty and redemption in a web of tales where characters lives are intertwined by fate and by their own actions.

From the time the town is founded by a brave, young woman from England who has no fear of blizzards or of bears, the characters are extraordinary and vivid: a young wounded Civil War solider who is saved by a passionate neighbor, a woman who meets a historical character who is fiercely human, a poet who falls in love with a blind man, a mysterious traveler who comes to town in the year when summer never arrives.

At the center of everyone's life is an extraordinary garden where only red plants can grow, and where the truth can be found by those who dare to look.

Hoffman is the best-selling author of 25 novels, including "The Third Angel," "The Ice Queen," "Practical Magic," and "Here on Earth," an Oprah Book Club selection. She also has written two books of short stories, and eight books for children and young adults. Her work has been translated into more than 20 languages and published in more than a hundred foreign editions. She divides her time between Boston and New York City.
