A review by mdcnlmldrm
A Sudden Light by Garth Stein

4.0

The architecture of the Riddell house and the family secrets its ghosts slowly revealed to the narrator really hooked me, and I stayed up until dawn to finish it on the third day of reading it. The gay scenes may make some readers uncomfortable, though it was Sister Serena's relationship with her family which gave me the heebie-geebies. But that's what makes a good book right, unexpected plot twists that may or may not creep you the hell out?

All sorts of emotions occurred for me at the end. For those readers who reviewed saying they got bored... they really missed out on a captivating read. Glad to start my 2017 challenge off with this book!
