Description

|
|
|
When this novel, by the author of The Dovekeepers, Here on Earth, and Practical Magic, was published in 1977, Kirkus Reviews described it as "that precious commodity, the first novel of great promise." And so it was, as Alice Hoffman has gone on to write more than 30 novels and children's books, which frequently combine otherworldly forces with reality. Property Of is the story of a young outsider obsessed with her gang-leader lover, the charismatic, doomed McKay, but who is unwilling to commit to becoming one of "the Property of the Orphans"—the tough girls who belong to the boys on the avenue. In this stunning debut, Hoffman explores hard truths about how difficult it is to love another, and yet how much more difficult it is to pull away. This edition includes an introduction by the author.
