Shining Sea

Author: Anne Korkeakivi
Publisher: Little, Brown & Company
Category: Fiction, General
Age Group: 15+
Book Format: Paperback

Beginning in 1962 with a shocking loss, SHINING SEA quickly pulls us into the lives of forty-three -year-old Michael Gannon's widow and offspring. Brilliantly described and utterly alive on the page, the Gannon clan find themselves charting paths they never anticipated, for decades to come. Told with a cinematic sweep, SHINING SEA transports us from World War II to the present day, crisscrossing from the beaches of Southern California to the Woodstock rock festival, from London's gritty nightlife in the eighties to Scotland's remote Inner Hebrides, from the dry heat of Arizona to the fertile farmland of Massachusetts.Epic, tender, and beautifully rendered, SHINING SEA is the portrait of an American family-a profound depiction of the ripple effects of war, the passing down of memory, the making of myth, and the power of the ideal of heroism to lead us astray but sometimes also to keep us afloat.
