A gorgeous and uncanny foray into the fracturing effects of dementia, and the magic that shimmers into everyday life. It is the decades-spanning story of Elle Ranier, a working-class girl from Brooklyn, who now presides over the fading fortunes of the Ranier manufacturing dynasty on remote Lyra Island. Sensitively told from her perspective of advancing cognitive decline, as Elle moves increasingly unmoored through the periods of her life, and as the dead seem to effortlessly enter the present, the strange, blue lights of the island are lighting up the night brighter and brighter every evening.
