Alice Hoffman is an author that I like some of her books and just can't get into others. This one I just couldn't get into. I liked how it started, couldn't really get into the middle, but liked how it wrapped up at the end.
A young girl makes a wish and it comes true, her mother never comes home. The young girl then becomes obsessed with death. So basically be careful what you wish for . And be happy with what you have when you have it.
She also gets struck by lightning and meets another person who had also been struck and how that changes their lives. Goodreads gives a better summary.
Goodreads summary:
From the bestselling author of Practical Magic, a miraculous, enthralling tale of a woman who is struck by lightning, and finds her frozen heart is suddenly burning.
Be careful what you wish for. A small town librarian lives a quiet life without much excitement. One day, she mutters an idle wish and, while standing in her house, is struck by lightning. But instead of ending her life, this cataclysmic event sparks it into a new beginning.
She goes in search of Lazarus Jones, a fellow survivor who was struck dead, then simply got up and walked away. Perhaps this stranger who has seen death face to face can teach her to live without fear. When she finds him, he is her opposite, a burning man whose breath can boil water and whose touch scorches. As an obsessive love affair begins between them, both are forced to hide their most dangerous secrets—what turned one to ice and the other to fire.
A magical story of passion, loss, and renewal, The Ice Queen is Alice Hoffman at her electrifying best.
