#modernfairytale#fiction Ex-library book. Expect stamps and stickers associated with being such. Slight crack in binding, clean pages. Robin Moore never wanted to be anyone's savior. But when she sees a beautiful and innocent man mistaken for a beast, she does something she never thought she'd do: she rescues him and takes him home with her. Only there, on the tiny island where people are trying to lead a perfect suburban life, close-but not too close-to nature, does Robin begin to realize the intricacy of what it means to be human. SECOND NATURE is a modern fairy tale about a place where all things are possible: where deer can weep, and winter ice turn blood-red, and roses bloom all at once-and where love has nothing to do with common sense. It is a spellbinding story that hints at unexpected answers to timeless questions, questions about innocence and wickedness, desire and obsession. This is a novel of suspense and natural en chantment that could come only from the remarkable vision of Alice Hoff man, one of our finest storytellers.
