Slate: "Most bad novels reveal their flaws quickly. The writing is usually inelegant, the characters crudely drawn, the dramatic situations clunky, the dialogue stilted....That isn't the case with Alice Hoffman's latest novel, BLUE DIARY. Although it's a genuinely bad book, it doesn't send up these traditional early warning flares. On the contrary, it's clearly the work of an accomplished writer, consistently demonstrating a respectable level of skill....What's lacking throughout is psychological nuance, moral complexity, some willingness to explore and dramatize the situation Hoffman has herself created." |

| Publisher's Note: |
It's the last Monday of the month, a brutally gorgeous morning brimming with blue air and the sweet scent of honeysuckle which grows wild in the woods beyond Front Street, when Ethan Ford fails to show up for work. |

| Details: |
Ethan Ford is a pillar of the community--which is a small, idyllic, wholesome Massachusetts town--and when he is suddenly hit with an arrest for a murder committed 15 years ago, people are stunned. Ethan admits his guilt, but claims that the crime he committed so long ago should not now be held against his exemplary record. Many of his fellow townspeople support him--but not the ones who count most, his wife and his son. A New York Times Notable Book for 2001. |
