A Sudden Light by Garth Stein

3.0

---

Sent to a massive house of trees located on Puget Sound a young boy learns about his past. Filled with visits from ghosts, mystery and old family feuds. I liked the writing style, and was pulled in from the beginning. I enjoyed learning how naturalist John Muir influenced this fictitious family to protect the land they lived on. The ending felt a bit rushed. A good read that makes one see the importance of sacrifice and family.
