From Garth Stein, author of the beloved bestseller The Art of Racing in the Rainânow a major motion picture!
The New York Times bestselling âwitty, atmosphericâ (People) story of a once powerful American family, and the price that must be paid by the heirs as they struggle for redemption: âA captivating page-turnerâ (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 Seattleâs Puget Sound. Trevorâs 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 houseâs hidden stairways and forgotten rooms, he discovers secrets that convince him that the family plan may be at odds with the landâs true destiny. Only Trevorâs willingness to face the dark past of his forefathers will reveal the key to his familyâs future.
Spellbinding and atmospheric, A Sudden Light is rich with vivid characters, poetic scenes of natural beauty, and powerful moments of spiritual transcendence. âGarth Stein is resourceful, cleverly piecing together the family history with dreams, overheard conversations, and reminiscencesâĶa tale well told,â (The Seattle Times)âa triumphant work of a master storyteller at the height of his power.
