Her first book introduced Matilda Black and Edmund Reynolds, whose unique abilities and challenges united them-and brought them to a wonderful old "haunted house" that sheltered Edmund and his friends when they were young. Now, that House calls them to reach out to those friends-and reunite them to defeat a powerful, dangerous magic. "Her ingenious plotting explores memory, the nature of recollection and personal growth." (Kirkus Reviews) "A lasting addition to the urban fantasy canon." (Booklist) "Chronicles the destinies of young men and women as they try to come to terms with the magic that flows through the world around them...sensuous prose and gentle humor add a graceful charm to this fantasy adventure." (Library Journal)
Algis Budrys said it best: "Most writers show and tell.
Nina Hoffman sings." Past the Size of Dreaming is the wonderfully inventive continuation of A Red Heart of Memories. Readers rejoin the wandering witches Matt (Matilda) Black and Edmund Reynolds as they revisit and heal the painful past. For those who've not yet read the first book, Hoffman reintroduces them with "Matt Black smiled.
She had found Edmund three months earlier in a pioneer graveyard, and she had stayed with him ever since." Matt "spent most of her time talking with things instead of people" because "anything shaped by humankind might have a story to tell her." Edmund and Matt have found two of Edmund's childhood friends, Nathan the ghost and Suki (Susan), the girl Edmund rescued from an abusive father.
They seek the others, Julio, Deirdre, and the twins, Terry and Tasha. To defeat the demon-controlling master wizard who once abducted Julio and is still controlling Galen, his apprentice, they must pool their magical resources. --Nona Vero
