“One of [Kristin Hannah’s] most compelling and riveting novels.”—Booklist Kristin Hannah is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of many acclaimed novels, including The Great Alone, The Nightingale, and Fly Away. She and her husband live in the Pacific Northwest and Hawaii.
In the rugged Pacific Northwest lies the Olympic National Forest—nearly a million acres of impenetrable darkness and impossible beauty. From deep within this old growth forest, a six-year-old girl appears. Speechless and alone, she offers no clue as to her identity, no hint of her past.
Having retreated to her western Washington hometown after a scandal left her career in ruins, child psychiatrist Dr. Julia Cates is determined to free the extraordinary little girl she calls Alice from a prison of unimaginable fear and isolation. To reach her, Julia must discover the truth about Alice’s past—although doing so requires help from Julia’s estranged sister, a local police officer. The shocking facts of Alice’s life test the limits of Julia’s faith and strength, even as she struggles to make a home for Alice—and for herself.
“One of [Kristin Hannah’s] most compelling and riveting novels.”—Booklist
Fun read, not as good as others, rather trite This was a really fun read, and I had it read in about a day and a half (yay for a snow day!). However, the book left me with a bit of disappointment, and it was not as rewarding as reading, say, “The Great Alone” by the same author. While the plot was quite unique, the actual characters seemed trite. Typical “gorgeous sisters” and “jaw droppingly handsome men” involved, here. The romances involved were also trite and predictable, with a bedroom scene thrown in for good measure. Both “handsome men” had unrealistically emotional roles in these romances.The actual “wild child” storyline was interesting, although I also felt there were a few parts that seemed unrealistic. There was a nice bit of twist at the end so the entire story wasn’t entirely predictable. I did like that her story was based on an interesting subject that had it’s roots in realism, and I liked how parts of the story were from the child’s point of view.Overall the book was fun to read, but it didn’t stand out to me as a favorite, and it often felt corny and trite. I feel like the subject matter could have gone from good to amazing if the characterization would have been done a bit differently. Still. it made for a relaxing snow day read.Predictable but the reader remains engaged throughout the novel. I gave this book five stars despite its predictability. The author clearly understands the subtle nuances of interpersonal interactions. This adds a reality to her characters as the reader identified with attributes of the protagonists. The subject matter of the book is atypical, which adds to its appeal.A book to get involved in. Magic Hour was a good book with great characters and content that makes you think a bit in that "what do I think?" fashion. It is interesting to focus on the characters and how they develop. They are good role models that remind us that we are not done until we are done! I felt that the situation was somewhat predictable although it did have a detour that I wasn't expecting. I enjoyed it and would certainly read more of her work.
