A Sudden Light by Garth Stein
5.0
Sometimes the Book Gods & Goddesses deliver a piece of work that is exactly what you need to read when your life requires it. Though I purchased "A Sudden Light" the day it came out, I didn't start it until this week.
There are authors who try to force depth onto you and it gets torqued and tortured and messages can get lost. But with Mr. Stein, there is a depth in his writing that is so multi-layered that the reader is able to just enjoy the story or to go as far emotionally as needed.
"A Sudden Light" is not only a ghost story. It's a story about dreams. And expectations. Family. Family convolutions. Integrity. Love. Honor. Regret. Guilt. History. Nature.
I have no doubt that I will read this numerous times and, like "The Art of Racing in the Rain," will find new levels of meaning with each read.
Thank you Mr. Stein for another beautiful book.
