Alice Hoffman leaves the temperate Northeast and heads south to Verity, a fictional town that "is home to more divorced women from New York than any other town in the state of Florida." As with other Hoffman books, it's difficult to pin down a protagonist, but the action revolves around a divorcee named Lucy, a K-9 cop with a nasty scar named Julian, and Lucy's 12-year-old son Keith, the "meanest boy in Verity." "Turtle Moon" is the magical, maddening month of May when the heat ratchets up and the locals "slip two aspirins into their cans of Coke, wear sunglasses, and avoid making any major decisions." Hoffman has such a skillful way of weaving the impossible along with the improbable into the description of a place that could exist on the coast of Florida, that the reader follows right along, believing it all. There's not much to the story, and it's another testament to Hoffman's characterization that you get to the end well-acquainted with Julian and Keith especially. Both might rightly be identified as the protagonist; both have been transformed and redeemed, although not necessarily as other characters (or perhaps readers) would have liked. Without giving too much away, I will say that the basic story is set in motion when Keith, on the way out the door to run away, finds a fourteen-month-old girl who becomes his companion through desperate circumstances. Lucy's efforts to protect Keith bring her into close contact with Julian and lead her to her own desperate measures.
