Illumination Night

Illumination Night

Beginning on the night of the Grand Illumination, a festival of lanterns held each summer on Marthaâ€™s Vineyard, this novel is a modern chronicle of a marriage and a bittersweet exploration of an extraordinary passion. 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 granddaughterâ€™s soul; a family torn apart by a wifeâ€™s fears and a husbandâ€™s unrealized desiresÂ—and the high school girl who comes to Marthaâ€™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 â€œparenthood and friendship, self-protection and generosity, dream and disillusionmentâ€ (Newsday) that brings to light the talent that has made Alice Hoffman an acclaimed bestselling author.
