Book Reviews of Blackbird House

This was a great book. It is really not in my normal genre but once I started I had to finish. I don't do spoilers so I can only say I really enjoyed it

Every tale in this wonderful collection of short stories by author Alice Hoffman has one thing in common: each takes place in Blackbird House on Cape Cod. Set in the historically rich fabric of New England, each story revolves around something magical and yet heart-wrenchingly real. The stories span from the Revolutionary War to modern day, and explore the timeless themes of love, betrayal, devastation, exhilaration, death and life.
If you've never read Alice Hoffman, BLACKBIRD HOUSE is an excellent place to start. It gives the reader a wonderful example of just how prolific and talented a writer Alice Hoffman is and how powerfully her writing resonates with her readers

Each story was somewhat sad but they are good stories - a few of which I wish were longer.

If your looking for a quick summer read...this is it!!!

I love thinking about who lived in my house and what their life was like here...hummm

Alice Hoffman is one of my favorite authors. Blackbird House is a timeline of interwoven lives lyrically written. If you like Alice Hoffman, this one won't disappoint.

I don't think I have ever encountered a book where the main character was not a person but a thing. The way this character weaves into each story was incredible. I really enjoyed the book and the progression through time. Definitely a must read.

An interesting story about families who lived in a house over many generations. An easy read, well written.

From the time of the British occupation of Massachusetts to our own modern world, Hoffman weaves a web of tales centering around a small farm on the outer reaches of Cape Cod. As always, Hoffman is magical.
