Help us welcome the fabulous Jennifer Donnelly!
In A Northern Light, Sixteen-year-old Mattie Gokey has big dreams but little hope of seeing them come true. Desperate for money, she takes a job at the Glenmore, where hotel guest Grace Brown asks her to burn a bundle of secret letters. But when Grace's drowned body is fished from the lake, Mattie discovers the letters reveal the grim truth behind a murder.
Set in 1906 against the backdrop of the murder that inspired Theodore Dreiser's An American Tragedy, this astonishing novel weaves romance, history, and a murder mystery into something moving, real, and wholly original.

Is the UK title of this book "A Gathering Light"? Because I have a book called A Gathering Light by Jennifer Donnelly and the cover is different but the summary of the book is the same. :o/
ReplyDeleteYes--that's the UK title--you can see both covers on Jennifer's website!
