Description
Discover the transformative journey in *Relic Light*, a heartwarming novel by Brennen Wysong that explores deeper themes of vision, memory, and creativity. Centered around Beatrice, a woman in her seventies who encounters profound changes after losing her sight, this story offers a unique perspective on life and the moments that shape us. Set against the backdrop of her empty home north of New York City, Beatrice's thoughts drift to cherished memories of artwork, literature, and personal relationships, crafting an intimate portrayal of a mind working through grief and discovery. As her mathematician husband spends his days at Columbia and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Beatrice's isolation gives way to a rich exploration of her past and an awakening to new possibilities. Each page turns the reader's own perceptions of art and life upside down, reinforcing the belief that the narratives we construct with our senses have as much weight as our lived experiences. *Relic Light* invites readers to consider the idea of “re-visioning” their world through art, memory, and emotion. This literary gem has been praised as a 'beautiful and unforgettable debut' by Jennifer Gilmore, encapsulating a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Join Beatrice on her journey of introspection, art, and the essence of living as you delve into the pages of this extraordinary debut novel.
