A Sudden Light
by Garth Stein
Difficult to characterize. Family drama, ghost story, haunted house, and more.
The story of 14 year old Trevor meeting his father's family for the first time, and coming to know his family's home, the Riddell House on the North Estate. He also gets to me his aunt Serena and his grandfather Samuel.
The main drama comes from what will happen to Riddell House after Samuel dies. The house and land has originally been promised to become a park and return to its state before the Riddell family began their lumber empire.
But it's also a love story, forbidden love, familial love, love of nature. Will have to read Muir's "The Mountains of California" sometime.
