A Sudden Light: A Novel (English Edition) Kindle版
From Garth Stein, author of the beloved bestseller The Art of Racing in the Rain—now a major motion picture!
The New York Times bestselling “witty, atmospheric” (People) story of a once powerful American family, and the price that must be paid by the heirs as they struggle for redemption: “A captivating page-turner” (Star Tribune, Minneapolis).
Twenty-three years after the fateful summer of 1990, Trevor Riddell recalls the events surrounding his fourteenth birthday, when he gets his first glimpse of the infamous Riddell House. Built from the spoils of a massive timber fortune, the legendary family mansion is constructed of giant whole trees and is set on a huge estate overlooking Seattle’s Puget Sound. Trevor’s bankrupt parents have separated, and his father, Jones Riddell, has brought Trevor to Riddell House with a goal: to join forces with Aunt Serena, dispatch the ailing and elderly Grandpa Samuel to a nursing home, sell off the house and property for development, and divide up the profits.
But as young Trevor explores the house’s hidden stairways and forgotten rooms, he discovers secrets that convince him that the family plan may be at odds with the land’s true destiny. Only Trevor’s willingness to face the dark past of his forefathers will reveal the key to his family’s future.
Spellbinding and atmospheric, A Sudden Light is rich with vivid characters, poetic scenes of natural beauty, and powerful moments of spiritual transcendence. “Garth Stein is resourceful, cleverly piecing together the family history with dreams, overheard conversations, and reminiscences…a tale well told,” (The Seattle Times)—a triumphant work of a master storyteller at the height of his power.

Incredible Book. Almost as good, maybe equally as good, as Racing In The Rain
2024年5月5日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
A story written with great sensitivity, reflecting appreciation for our humanness and our failings and potential equally, perhaps a bit of fantasy (or spirituality), and a very basic and essential environmental appreciation for our home planet, earth. Very nice. Thanks.

Phenomenal read
2014年11月19日にカナダでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
This is an outstanding novel. The characters are wonderfully real, though the protagonist, a 14 year old boy whose parents have separated, seems at time to be older than he should be. The father, a descendant of a Seattle timber baron, has become bankrupt, but hopes through the sale of a deteriorating timber mansion in Seattle. The boy want the house to be returned to nature.

I bought this book based on my love for "The Art of Racing in the Rain." Despite an entirely different subject matter, this story was beautiful - I could not put it down. I will forever be a loyal fan of Garth Stein.
