This Family Saga Finds Grace And Beauty In Ordinary Lives, Fully Lived
Simon Van Booy's new novel Night Came With Many Stars follows several generations of a Kentucky family, their crossroads and choices, their curses and hard memories, their luck and their chances.
Sometimes, in the dark, a book will talk to you. The words stop crawling on the page and become music. Its voices whisper in your ear.
Read at night, at the end of a too-long day, and characters will enter and exit the rooms of memory, trailing the scent of cigarette smoke and faded perfume. With Simon Van Booy's new novel, ,open in front of me,I know the smell of summer afternoons and the pattern of paint spattered on a workingman's boots.
