About this listen

A magical and stunningly original story that charts the lives of three women in love with the wrong men from the best-selling author of Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick, The Rules of Magic.

Headstrong Madeleine Heller finds herself hopelessly attracted to her sister’s fiancé. Frieda Lewis, a doctor’s daughter and a runaway, becomes the muse of an ill-fated rock star. And beautiful Bryn Evans is set to marry an Englishman while secretly obsessed with her ex-husband. At the heart of the novel is Lucy Green, who blames herself for a tragic accident she witnessed at the age of 12, and who spends four decades searching for the Third Angel - the angel on Earth who will renew her faith. Brilliantly evoking London’s King’s Road, Knightsbridge, and Kensington while moving effortlessly back in time, The Third Angel is a work of startling beauty about the unique, alchemical nature of love.

Critic reviews

"Alice Hoffman is my favorite writer." (Jodi Picoult)
"A reader is in good hands with Alice Hoffman, able to count on many pleasures. She is one of our quirkiest and most interesting novelists, and her skills increase with every new book." (Jane Smiley)
"Over the course of writing more than two dozen works of fiction, Hoffman has created her very own form, the heartbreak fairy tale. Her latest and one of her best is...exceptionally well-structured, beguiling, and affecting....Hoffman has transcended her own genre." ( Booklist)

“Headstrong women, reckless love affairs and a liberal dusting of the supernatural are the pleasurable trademarks of an Alice Hoffman novel...[The Third Angel] should bewitch old fans and new readers alike.” (People)
