Green Heart is two books in one. The first book is Green Angel, the second is Green Witch. I thought about trying to write this review without separating the two, but that wasn’t working. They are two very different stories wrapped up in one another and it’s lovely.
The first, Green Angel is about Green’s journey through loss and grief and finding herself again. She loses her entire family in a horrible, devastating way. She crumbles and has to put herself together again. She feels guilty, regretful and, of course, extremely sad and upset. She has to rebuild her life without those she loved most, but she ends up finding comfort in new people. The neighbor she and her sister stole apples from, the girl from her school that was never really her friend, the boy survivor that stumbles into her life and holds her heart.
It’s a short story, but incredibly moving and hopeful. The way the story is written leaves much to the imagination, and yet you aren’t left trying to figure things out. It’s all laid out, waiting for you to read and put together. It’s dark and yet there’s light that keeps shining through with every page. I absolutely loved it.
Green Witch is the continuation of Green Angel and is more about Green finding herself again and finding the reason people fall in love. She’s looking for something as she visits the houses of neighbors the village people consider “witches;” those that can look past the ugly and have something to give the world. They help Green as she searches for the boy she fell in love with and the girl that became her friend. With the help of these women, she’s able to find out that she’s stronger than she thought; she has a special power from within herself that people wish they could have. They turn to her for help and to help them find hope again.
Green Witch is another story of a journey, but this one is about finding your strength and who you are. It’s about love and what love is worth. Everyone has a different answer for how to measure love and it was beautiful to read how each woman viewed the love they had lost. It was both heartbreaking and empowering.
Green Heart is a simply breathtaking book that opens pieces of your soul and makes you feel. It’s a book that, while short, has an impact. The lyrical way it was written made it all the better. This is definitely a book people should read if they want something that will leave them feeling uplifted and refreshed.

I love Alice Hoffman books. Her writing style always draws me in. This book had a somewhat different style and was a magical realism approach to a post-apocalyptic theme, although it was rich with her typical descriptive passages about nature and emotions. Typically, I am not a fan of themes related to post-apocalyptic anything and was not immediately drawn into it to the extent her books usually grab me. However, it was still beautifully written and delved into the significant impact of loss, grief, love, and how the true reality of situations and others appearances are only as true as the perceptions of the observer.

This is written in a slightly different tone than her other novels. Hoffman usually likes to build a specific setting (such as a New England town) for her stories. This is more vague in location (but not really in details). It is slightly dystopian, but not too futuristic. It is very fairy-tale like. This edition is the combination of two different novels. The feel of the novels, as with any book and sequel, are different. This is definitely not one of her best books, but is good for a short little escape. It sort of reminds me of current events, but not too much. I found it very enjoyable a read, but I did not pick it apart too much.
