Synopsis
A professor's wife named March Murray travels from California to her hometown in Massachusetts to attend the funeral of the woman who helped raise her after her mother died. While there, she becomes passionately involved with her old flame, Hollis, an abandoned child her family took in as a boarder. Now wealthy, Hollis has waited all these years for March to return to him, but she soon discovers that he is no longer the person she once knew, but an evil, heartless man. This "Wuthering Heights" update is set in modern-day New England.

Industry reviews
"At the end of 'Wuthering Heights,' someone viewing the graves of Heathcliff and Catherine wonders how anyone could imagine unquiet slumbers for the lovers resting in that quiet earth. Despite the many wonders that Hoffman has unearthed, you can only wish that she had left them rest in peace."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Alix Madrigal (08/24/1997)

"Hoffman's fans won't be disappointed by the airy-fairy 'Here on Earth,' her 12th novel, which weaves all of Hoffman's usual themes into a dreamy, intricate family melodrama, complete with alcoholism, wife-beating, obsessional love and whiffs of murder....Still, this novel's comfy, confident voice is enough to lure you into an armchair for the better part of an evening....It's curiously pleasurable, and reading it induces only a minimum of guilt."
Salon - Courtney Weaver (09/09/1997)

"[D]ark and wonderful....Alice Hoffman has never seen deeper inside her characters....'Here on Earth' is Alice Hoffman's most powerful and moving novel to date, and one of the finest fictional explorations of family love..."
Washington Post Book World - Howard Frank Mosher (08/31/1997)

"Daringly old-fashioned, Hoffman's writing is wholesome without being proselytising or dull."
Literary Review - Deborah Bosley (10/19/1997)
