lucidstyle 's review for:
A Sudden Light
by Garth Stein
A wildfire of family relationships, history... those things that mold and shape us, many of which we were never aware of until the moment that we take the opportunity to divulge the past and reveal its secrets.
This book is lyrical, stunning and sad, but gorgeous. Garth Stein paints the forest as beautifully as his characters, and performs and exquisite mise en scene. As lovely as it is heart-raking.
I also would love this book for the introduction alone. The drive, the view of the estate -- it's reminiscent of Poe's House of Usher or Hawthorne's House of Seven Gables. And equally tortured/torturous.
