BlogCritics Reviews Peter Geye’s THE LIGHTHOUSE ROAD
BlogCritics.org, an on-line magazine that describes itself as “a new kind of online magazine, an interactive community in which writers and readers from around the globe talk about stories, issues, and products”, has reviewed Peter Geye’s latest novel, The Lighthouse Road. The first paragraph of the review appears below…
“These woods are the world,” a character in the involving The Lighthouse Road says, “and the world ain’t an easy place.” The world in which Peter Geye’s second novel is mainly set is a logging camp and small village beyond the borders of Duluth, Minnesota, in an era that straddles the turn of the 20th century. The author’s astute study centers on the sense of kith and kinship nurtured within a community, in both its quiet moments and disquieting years. At the same time that its insidious and slowly leaked secrets engender circumspection and intrigue from the reader, The Lighthouse Road rewardingly challenges him or her by leapfrogging and even catapulting back and forth within its 25-year span.
