Narration During Books The Effects of Light

Throughout their childhood, Myla and Pru Wolfe pose for a haunting series of photographs, many involving nudity. Young, beautiful, and motherless, the sisters bond fiercely in their shared sense of loss, unquenchable thirst for knowledge, and status as favorite subjects for family friend and photographer Ruth Handel. The photographs fire each girl's psyche with a sense of artistic accomplishment. Until their world irrevocably shifts... Thirteen years later, Myla receives a mysterious communication that calls her back to her past. Awkwardly fleeing the one man who has managed to pierce her defenses, she flies home to Oregon, where a series of packages are sent to her in measured installments. They are time bombs of revelations, and artifacts that force her to relive—and come to terms with—the event that changed her family forever. Edgy, richly evocative, and profoundly moving, The Effects of Light is an unforgettable debut novel, and a story drenched in luminous epiphany and unexpected truth.

Notice Epithetical Books The Effects of Light

This is one of my all-time favorite books. It is a haunting story with a shocking ending. It is written with such emotion and description. It completely engulfs you. The storyline also forces you to question your own values and aesthetics as to what is art and what is pornography.

met this author at the doc lab - i should read her novel!

I loved how this story evolved; the book captured my interest right away. Alternating chapters, told by the two sisters, Pru and Myla. Pru tells the story from the past, whereas, Myla is in the present. Pru, being younger, is so much more innocent and therefore, a more lovable character. Myla, being older, has gone through more hurt and trauma, therefore she is more seasoned and hardened because of these life experiences. These girls were raised with so much love from friends and family, but

This book isn't thriller. Just a bit of suspense. I don't know which group I should put this book in. It's not funny, romantic or science fiction. It's a bit like Jodi Poict (I know I misspelled her name, shut up, haha). It's about 2 sisters who had their pics taken in nude when they were growing up. It's about how the society react to the nude pixs, as you know "PORN!!". My mom read this first and told me that she doesn't really like it. I wonder why, she said it's different. I don't know why

I couldn't put this book down. The story was good and made me think beyond just the plot, plus it had enough mystery to keep me interested.

Thought provoking and unexpected. Ive had this book for a decade, moved it 3 times, so happy I finally got to it.

I liked it for the descriptions of Oregon and the Metropolitan Art Museum. Too tidy of an ending. Pleasant read but not particularly memorable. It may be the kind of book I check out of the library years down the road having forgotten that I read it. In fact, I think this may just be the case...
