Narration To 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.

Assessment Of Books The Effects of Light

This is a difficult book for me to review. The writing is wonderful, the characters, while flawed, are fairly well developed, and the story is compelling. I found myself wanting to keep reading, but for some reason I didn't love it. It took me a while to realize that the character telling the present day story was not the same one telling the "flashback" story, but even knowing that I found it to be a little too technical and academic. I would come to a part of the book where I wanted to get

Re-reading this amazing book by my amazing friend (who wasn't my friend the first time I read it), and thinking all sorts of good thoughts about the serendipity of things.

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

A great examination of the nude in the art world, this book looks at how we define pornography and how others opinions form our own. It jumps back and forth between the past and present, from one sister to another, and finally a few sections are written in second-person POV, telling you what the pictures in question actually look like. It also explores what it mean to love and trust someone while keeping secrets through Kate and Samuel's relationship. Their relationship is reminiscent of

Throughout their childhood till their early teens, two sisters Myla and Pru pose for a critically acclaimed series of photographs as figurative models. A female family friend is the photographer. The girls are beautiful, intellectually gifted, and motherless. They fiercely bond through their sense of loss, as well as through the art they help produce. However, this art was challenged over whether it was nothing more than child pornography. The novel has two narrators, Myla, as an adult who has

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

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.
