Acerca de esta escucha

When a boy tries to save his parents’ marriage, he uncovers a legacy of family secrets in a coming-of-age ghost story by the author of the internationally best-selling phenomenon The Art of Racing in the Rain.

In the summer of 1990, 14-year-old Trevor Riddell gets his first glimpse of 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 Puget Sound. Trevor’s bankrupt parents have begun a trial separation, and his father, Jones Riddell, has brought Trevor to Riddell House with a goal: to join forces with his sister, Serena, dispatch Grandpa Samuel - who is flickering in and out of dementia - to a graduated living facility, sell off the house and property for development into "tract housing for millionaires", divide up the profits, and live happily ever after.

But Trevor soon discovers there’s someone else living in Riddell House: a ghost with an agenda of his own. For while the land holds tremendous value, it is also burdened by the final wishes of the family patriarch, Elijah, who mandated it be allowed to return to untamed forestland as a penance for the millions of trees harvested over the decades by the Riddell Timber company. The ghost will not rest until Elijah’s wish is fulfilled, and Trevor’s willingness to face the past holds the key to his family’s future.

A Sudden Light is a rich, atmospheric work that is at once a multigenerational family saga, a historical novel, a ghost story, and the story of a contemporary family’s struggle to connect with each other. A tribute to the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest, it reflects Garth Stein’s outsized capacity for empathy and keen understanding of human motivation, and his rare ability to see the unseen: the universal threads that connect us all.

You won't be disappointed!

Narrator was perfect for the story. I was sorry the journey Garth Stein took me on had to end, but I am different having taken it. Gripping and poignant, the story is masterfully written. I just discovered Garth Stein, but now I can't wait to read his other works.

Brilliant!

I'm a fan of Garth Stein and the agony of the anticipation is always worth the wait for the next book to be released! I thought this story was brilliantly written as well as perfectly narrated. Stories within a story, engaging characters, provoking thought with words of deep wisdom which you will probably run backward for a harder 2nd listen. And Trevor, wise beyond his years, a grand lead character. he keeps you so engaged you never want it to end. Thank you Garth! What's next? Every book has been so different, there is alot of heart and soul in his style.

A beautiful story

Well written and told. The narrator keeps you engaged and the narrator is the reason I picked this book and often how I find great books by who a narrator brings a story to life.

Not racing in the rain

What did you like best about A Sudden Light? What did you like least?

The story was a disappointment, but his writing is still marvelous. This was not my kind of story ang I longed for the connection I felt with the dog in Racing in the Rain. It is rare to make that connection so I should not expect it again. For those who like fantasy this will probably be an enjoyable read

Beautiful Prose and Descriptions of Place

I love Garth Stein's writing, but I'm not a fan of mystical realism, and that aspect of the story line really turned me off.

Fine, Imaginative Writing

This is a story of the spirit world as we would wish it could be, in which those long gone could return to have a positive effect on us, our relationships and The Earth. The story is very well written and captivating, though implausible.
