A stunning new novel about three generations of a family
haunted by love from the bestselling author of Practical
Magic and Here on Earth. Arlyn Singer believes in destiny
and in love. But fate seems to be playing a trick on the
night when John Moody knocks on her door to ask for
directions. Opposites who cannot understand each other, they
are drawn to one another even when it's clear they're bound
to bring each other grief. Their marriage is dangerous
territory, tracing a map no one should follow. It leads them
and their children to the Connecticut countryside, the
avenues in Manhattan, the blue waters of the Long Island
Sound, all in a search for family and identity. There is
Sam, the brilliant explosive artist who is drawn to
self-destruction and dreams. Blanca, the beautiful loner who
tries desperately to protect her brother from his destiny
and lives her own life in a world of books. And Will, the
grandson, who is left a legacy of broken pieces he needs to
put together, an emotional and mysterious puzzle made up of
people who don't know the first thing about love. Here is a
family so real, so tragic, so devoted it is as if they have
written their own riveting history--a quest for love and
truth. Glass breaks, love hurts, and families make their own
rules. SKYLIGHT CONFESSIONS is a luminous and elegant work
of true originality. No one who reads this novel will ever
forget it or look at their own family in quite the same way.
