Read by John Lee, Xe Sands, Amy Rubinate, Paul Michael Garcia, Bernadette Dunne, Tavia Gilbert, Cassandra Campbell, Hillary Huber, Laura Hicks, Kate Reading, Carrington MacDuffie, Kirsten Potter With incantatory prose that sweeps over the reader like a dream Philadelphia Inquirer, Blackbird House traces the lives of the various occupants of an old Massachusetts house over a span of two hundred years. In a rare and gorgeous departure, beloved novelist Alice Hoffman weaves a web of twelve tales, all set in Blackbird House. This small farm on the outer reaches of Cape Cod is a place that is as bewitching and alive as the characters we meet Violet, a brilliant girl who is in love with books and with a man destined to betray her Lysander Wynn, attacked by a halibut as big as a horse, certain that his life is ruined until a boarder wearing red boots arrives to change everything Maya Cooper, who does not understand the true meaning of the love between her mother and father until it is nearly too late.
