Items related to A Sudden Light
The breathtaking and long-awaited new novel from the author of 'the fable with a heart'. This novel centres on four generations of a once terribly wealthy and influential timber family who have fallen from grace; a mysterious yet majestic mansion, crumbling slowy into the bluff overlooking Puget Sound in Seattle; a love affair so powerful it reaches across the planes of existence; and a young man who simply wants his parents to once again experience the moment they fell in love, hoping that if can feel that emotion again, maybe they won't get divorced after all.

Review:
"Wow! I devoured "A Sudden Light", a grand, gorgeous, multi-generational epic of the Pacific Northwest. Garth Stein has given us another singular, soulful, and wise narrator for the ages, who tells us a story full of mystery and yearning. I adored this book."--Maria Semple, New York Times bestselling author of Where'd You Go, Bernadette
"This magnificent and haunting ghost story will pull you into its world and hold you captive, awe you with the enduring power and beauty of nature, and, on every page, fill you with amazement at Stein's infinite compassion for the human condition.... A major achievement by a major American writer."--Robert Goolrick, author of A Reliable Wife and Heading Out to Wonderful
"Take equal parts mystery, lyrical magic, and a healthy dose of natural wonder, add a multi-generational family struggling with the ghosts of the past, literally and figuratively, and you have A Sudden Light--a beautiful, deeply thought-provoking story that is impossible to put down."--Jamie Ford, author of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet
