About Seventh Heaven by Alice Hoffman
Set on Hemlock Street in 1959 Long Island, Seventh Heaven centers on Nora Silk, a divorced mother whose style and way of raising her children unsettle her neighbors. In a neighborhood where the houses look alike, Nora stands out—and the residents respond to her in sharply different ways.
As the women’s apprehension gives way to admiration and the men’s lust to awe, the children are drawn to Nora for reasons they cannot explain. Blending historical fiction with magical realism and fantasy, the novel will suit readers interested in suburban life, changing social expectations, and the secrets and possibilities beneath an orderly surface.
