From the author of Mr. and Mrs. Doctor
Finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award, the PEN/Bingham Award, the Etisalat Prize for Literature, and the National Book Critics Circle John Leonard Award for Debut Fiction
“A family drama of the highest order, A Season of Light is about the curses we carry with us and the rare chances we have to shed their weight. It’s a stunning, layered novel, one that I read with my heart in my throat.”―Rebecca Makkai, Pulitzer finalist The Great Believers
“A Season of Light is a heart-wrecking and wise and lyrical marvel of novel that illumes the tolls of war, the long haunting of family traumas, and the shaky promise of the immigrant American dream. The Ewerikes are as indelible as any family I’ve known or read about.”―Mitchell S. Jackson, winner of the Pulitzer prize and author of The Residue Years
“Julie Iromuanya has the rare ability to use the most unlikely and unexpected conceit to weave a tale of such importance and magnitude, to expose life’s sad and humorous sides. She is an original.”―Helon Habila, author of Travelers
“Luminous…Iromuanya is a spectacular storyteller. A narrative that could have been dark and foreboding instead has a pronounced brilliance, and a thread of unexpected humor…There is a halo surrounding this narrative of loss and grief. —The New York Times
“An affecting, observant rendering of the immigrant experience in contemporary America.” —Kirkus Starred Review
