A Certain Slant of Light by Laura Whitcomb

5.0

After getting this at least twice a year from the library and always returning it unread, I finally bought a used copy and sat down to read it. I wasn't disappointed. A Certain Slant of Light is gorgeously written, the insights into James and Helen's characters as "Light" are so beautifully thought out and well written that you feel like you're just like them. As a Christian, someone that was raised in that kind of household I found myself relating to Jenny.. the need to get away. Over all I'm glad I finally read this.

Also. I love that the title is derived from an Emily Dickinson poem. She's my favorite poet... so I'm glad the book did the line justice.
