Commentary To Books Second Nature
Second Nature tells the story of a suburban woman, Robin Moore, who discovers her own free spirit through a stranger she brings home to her perfectly ordered neighborhood. As Robin impulsively draws this beautiful, uncivilized man into her world-meanwhile coping with divorce and a troubled teenage son-she begins to question her wisdom and doubt her own heart, and ultimately she changes her ideas about love and humanity.Rating Out Of Books Second Nature

Wow. I have very little words. And, I think, for the context of this book that may be exactly how one should feel. This book is all about raw feelings and intuition. It's about what is wild in us all. And what we may have forgotten is wild in us all. I loved the characters all the way through. Well developed. Well understood. Simple story, complex lives. Read. You will not regret it.Ive only read a few of Alice Hoffmans books but I like her writing so much. This would not be my favorite. Its good. I can suspend disbelief. I was drawn to the wolf man story. Even the passionate romance. I had difficulty with the animal killings and Im typically quite sensitive to that. I do understand why it was part of this book. I just dont enjoy reading about it. The book had a lot of sadness too. I wished for a different ending. Ill keep reading Hoffman. Im actually also reading The Red
The more Alice Hoffman books I read, the more I admire her. I neglected giving her a try for the longest time because she's more "mainstream" i.e. popular, and I consider myself someone who likes authors most people don't. But her books really speak for themselves and are amazing. This one was no exception. She draws you into a story no matter what it's about, and her actual writing ability is hypnotic. Several sections she wrote in _Second Nature_ about love and how it feels seem to go right to
I've read this book so many times that I can't believe I'm reading it again -- but, I am. I love Alice Hoffman's quirky blend of magic realism and pragmatism.
My first Alice Hoffman book, and I am glad I chanced upon it.. This book has all that I like in a novel- language, good characters, romance, suspense, relations... It feels almost like a fairy tale, though with a not-so-happy ending. The language is plain yet absorbing, with a flow to it. Well explored characters, you actually feel that you know them. Beautiful descriptions, be it the surroundings, or the characters or their actions, or emotions... The romance was really good, though sad. A
Poetically tragic story filled with the luminous glow of longing and forbidden love...Heartbreaking, multi-layered love story of complete devotion and self-sacrifice.
