Seller's Description:
Good. GOOD BOOK MODERATE WEAR, CORNER BENDS & CLEAR TAPE ALONG SPINE. LIGHTLY AGED PAGES, LIBRARY STAMPS, SPOTS ON EDGE BUT NO MARKS IN TEXT. Description: Beginning on the night of the Grand Illumination, a festival of lanterns held each summer on Martha's Vineyard, Illumination Night follows the lives of a young blond giant who is as beautiful as he is frightening; an old woman at the end of her life whose last mission is to save her granddaughter's soul; a family torn apart by a wife's fears and a husband's unrealized desires—and the high school girl who comes to Martha's Vineyard against her will, who steals husbands and cars, and who will bring everyone together in a web of yearning, sin, and ultimate redemption. Both riveting and reflective, this is a story of “parenthood and friendship, self-protection and generosity, dream and disillusionment” (Newsday) that brings to light the talent that has made Alice Hoffman an acclaimed bestselling author.
