by Barbara Lalla (Author)
Disaster catapults three children into the care
of their Caribbean grandparents, before another relative, elusive and perhaps
unstable, makes a conflicting claim to guardianship. Balancing domestic
calamity against her own compulsive writing, Aria faces physical and
psychological threats, as a pandemic creeps up on the world and the country
moves into lockdown. By Such a Parting Light offers a humorous and
poignant tale of aging and of coming of age, and it takes a mischievous
approach to the multiple meanings of retirement.
