Another lyrical novel from the author of the historical fiction sensation, The Raffle Baby.
Taking to the road in the hardest of times, Alma and Elias seek something that has always escaped them because it reveals itself only in motion.
Alma leaves the poverty of her Appalachian home, stepping onto the narrow go-devil paths carved through the mountains and forests—where haints linger and the trails speak of superstition and sing their cautionary tale.
Elias escapes a family too icy to understand him and seeks meaning in the clatter of wheels on steel. The railroad becomes his inheritance. His rebellion. His ever-pointing compass.
Each must follow the course and curve of the road, then veer off to forge their own way, even when they encounter those who would stand against them.
Making it to their destinations seems imperative, until their paths cross in surprising ways.
The Half Light of Leaving is a tale about parting, arriving, and the unlikely grace of being seen, written in the spare, haunting prose of this master storyteller.
