NOTICE: This is the same book as “Where The Light Remains.” Just a different title. I really liked this book. (And not just because it's written by my lecturer). The style and form brings immediate picturesque images of the end of the 19th Century set against the rugged nature of landscape overtime. The lifestyle and choices that people made at the end of both centuries (19th & 20th) is beautifully brought to life. I felt connected to the two protagonists through the descriptive language Gabriel uses. I especially liked the 1889 and Claira's chapters. It was very reminiscent. I recommend you read this.
