The Probable Future by Alice Hoffman6/4/2023 ![]() ![]() I was very impressed with the way the author dealt with the mother-daughter and grandmother-granddaughter relationships in this book. ![]() Under a set of unlikely circumstances, all three are together in their ancestral town, and something’s got to give. The Probable Future’s specific focus is the troubled relationships between the three newest generations: Elinor, her daughter Jenny, and her granddaughter Stella. ![]() Thirteen generations of Massachusetts-born women who all have some strange gift that emerges on their thirteenth birthday. In elegant, exacting prose, Alice Hoffman introduces readers to the Sparrow family. Hoffman’s novel is a tale of the bonds between women and the uncertainty of the future, colored with a touch of small town magic. Goodreads recommended that I read The Probable Future based on my interest in Sarah Addison Allen’s books, and I think that (as usual), Goodreads was right on. ![]()
