A suburban woman discovers her own wild spirit in this “suspenseful...dark, romantic meditation on what it means to be human”(The New Yorker) from the bestselling author of The Rules of Magic.
Robin Moore, coping with a divorce and a troubled teen-aged son, impulsively rescues a strange man from a psychiatric ward—a beautiful, uncivilized innocent who has been raised in the wilderness and possesses no more sophistication than a child. But when she brings him home to her perfectly ordered neighborhood, the events that follow cause Robin to question her wisdom and doubt her own heart—and, ultimately, to change all of her ideas about love and humanity.
“Her richest and wisest, as well as her boldest, novel to date.”—The New York Times Book Review

About the Author:

From AudioFile:
Alice Hoffman's newest novel once again demonstrates her magic as a storyteller. In this story about relationships, loneliness and being misunderstood, Hoffman's simple, yet powerful, style artfully weaves together past and present, one life to another, allowing us inside the hearts and minds of her unique characters. Kate Nelligan's moderate pace makes for clarity and fine vocal differentiation--from the eerie misfit, Matthew, to gravelly, irritated "Old Dick." The abridgment flows smoothly, free of sound effects and music. Like the storyteller's intricate tale, Second Nature is best when heard. J.A.H. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
