Więcej o książce
In November 2004, Barrett Meeks, feeling the weight of lost love, wanders through Central Park and is struck by a pale, translucent light that seems to watch over him. Despite his skepticism about visions and faith, he cannot shake the experience. Meanwhile, his older brother Tyler, a struggling musician in Bushwick, grapples with writing a wedding song for his seriously ill fiancée, Beth. Tyler aspires to create a piece that transcends mere sentimentality, aiming for a lasting expression of love. As Barrett becomes increasingly drawn to religious contemplation, Tyler believes that drugs may unlock his creative potential. Beth, facing her mortality, strives to confront her situation with courage. The narrative follows the divergent journeys of the Meeks brothers as they each seek transcendence in their own ways. Through subtle and lucid prose, the author captures the complexities of his characters, showcasing a deep empathy and a profound understanding of the human soul. The novel is a beautiful and heartbreaking exploration of love, loss, and the search for meaning.
