Alice Hoffman Zitate

Alice Hoffman ist eine amerikanische Schriftstellerin.

Hoffmans Werk, bisher u. a. 15 Bücher für Erwachsene und sechs für Kinder, ist geprägt durch Elemente wie Magie, Ironie und ungewöhnliche Liebesbeziehungen und wurde in mehr als 20 Sprachen übersetzt.

Aber trotz dieser Fantasy-Elemente fehlt es in ihrem Werk nicht an Wirklichkeitsbezug. Zum Beispiel beschäftigt sich „At Risk“ mit dem Thema Aids und ist in vielen Schulen Pflichtlektüre. Wikipedia
