A Sudden Light by Garth Stein
5.0

This book had all the elements of a wonderfully well laid out and told story. And, it took place in Puget Sound in Washington state a place whose beauty is endless. I loved Serena's quote: "There's so much we don't know, how can we pretend to know anything at all?" And the continuous quote from [b:The Mountains of California|91980|The Mountains of California|John Muir|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328774754s/91980.jpg|3026154] by [a:John Muir|5297|John Muir|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1398092241p2/5297.jpg] "My peace I give unto you". [a:Garth Stein|194531|Garth Stein|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1229127424p2/194531.jpg] did an incredible job at pulling together a story that embraces the truth about the lumber industry in the early 1900s and puts into this well written spellbinding story.
