![]() ![]() I can say that I really enjoyed the story, and it’s obvious to me that she is a magnificent weaver of tales. I can’t offer any insights as to how this book fits into Hoffman’s opus for the reason I stated above. A few years pass and she moves to New York City with her boyfriend, slowly entering the world again, but never able to rid herself of the inner shame of continuing her life while Helene remains locked to machines for basic survival. Plagued by guilt, Shelby falls into a severe depression, using drugs and isolation to protect herself from the suicidal thoughts that she struggles with on a daily basis. Faithful is a coming-of-age tale with a rocky start: At 17, Shelby gets into a serious car accident that puts her best friend Helene onto life support, living in a type of vegetable state. ![]() Despite her fame, I’ve never read a book of hers until now. Alice Hoffman has quite a following, in fact one of her books was awarded the prestigious ‘O Book Club’ sticker, and she’s written a ton of stuff since so she’s no stranger to the literary spotlight. ![]()
