Summary

Taking refuge on a remote island, a grieving woman develops unlikely connections with the community and the wild in this haunting novel of hope and perseverance from debut author Jessica Bryant Klagmann。

After the mysterious disappearance of her fiancé, Alma Hughes moves to a remote island in the North Atlantic, where she hopes to weather her grief and nurture her ailing dog。 But the strange town of Violette has mysteries as well。

Townsfolk say that the radio tower overlooking their town broadcasts messages through their home appliances, their dreams, even the sea itself。 When lightning strikes the tower, illuminating the sky in a brilliant flash, Alma finds herself caught in the unexplainable aftermath of one of Violette’s deadliest storms。

As the sea consumes the island, threatening its very existence, the deaths and lost memories of the recently departed also devastate the community。 Alma, with a unique link to the lost, may be the only one who can help them move on。 But to do so, she must confront a tragic loss of her own。

On this doomed island haunted by echoes of the departed, Alma searches for meaning in her future—and dares to discover the power of hope among the living。

There is an episode of Doctor Who…The Doctor gives all his stories to the star/planet and they aren’t enough。 But then Clara offers a leaf to the star…all the untold stories…。this book felt like that。 It’s a slow read。 It feels like you’re waiting with her。 Time slows down, but it doesn’t feel like it’s dragging。 It feels like everything else was moving too fast and now you’ve slowed down to the natural pace of the world。 It’s full of grief and hope and longing。 We’re all stories in the end。

I downloaded this book for free from Amazon First Reads and I wasn't quite sure what to expect。 This is a strange book, but I really liked it。 The writing is beautiful and really transports you to the location and time。 The characters draw you into the story。 It's weird, but a good weird。 I also really liked the pacing of the story。 I downloaded this book for free from Amazon First Reads and I wasn't quite sure what to expect。 This is a strange book, but I really liked it。 The writing is beautiful and really transports you to the location and time。 The characters draw you into the story。 It's weird, but a good weird。 I also really liked the pacing of the story。 。。。more

At last! My favorite writer has a book out!

There are so many great things to say about this book。 The story is captivating。 The characters are endearing。 The writing is lyrical, fun, and beautiful。 But… the ending! This is an ending that’s going to stick with me for a long while。 Story, characters, and all of it resolve in such a satisfying way that is both expected and totally unexpected。 I’d place this ending along the likes of Ian McEwan’s Atonement or Mark Helprin’s Winter’s Tale。 Highly recommended!
