Relation Conducive To Books The Edge of the Earth

From the author of Drowning Ruth, a haunting, atmospheric novel set at the closing of the frontier about a young wife who moves to a far-flung and forbidding lighthouse where she uncovers a life-changing secret.

Trudy is a polished, college-educated young woman from a respectable upper middle-class family, and it’s only a matter of time before she’ll marry Ernst, the son of her parents’ closest friends. All should be well in her world, and yet Trudy is restless and desperate for more stimulation than 1897 Milwaukee will allow. When she falls in love with enigmatic and ambitious Oskar, she believes she’s found her escape from the banality of her pre-ordained life. Alienated from Trudy’s family and friends, the couple moves across the country to take a job at a lighthouse in the eerily isolated Point Lucia, California. Upon arriving they meet the light station’s only inhabitants—the Crawleys, a family whose plain appearance is no indication of what lies below the surface. It isn’t long before Trudy begins to realize that there is more going on in this seemingly empty place than she could ever have imagined.

Gorgeously detailed, swiftly paced, and anchored in the lush geography of the remote and eternally mesmerizing Big Sur, The Edge of the Earth is a magical and moving story of secrets and self-transformation, ruses and rebirths, masterfully told by a celebrated and accomplished author.

The Edge of the Earth is a difficult read. At no point is it swiftly paced to keep you interested or riveted. It plods along in a greyness with very little vibrancy. It does not elicit any real emotion from the reader until well past the 200 page mark.Understanding when the novel takes place is important to the development of the characters and story. Trudy is likeable enough. Unhappy at home, uncertain of her choices later on. She relies on her infallible husband and stands behind his

Little House on the Prairie moves to a remote lighthouse station on the California coastline and melds with Darwins Origin of Species. A good storyline meshed with good old-fashioned hands-on marine biology.This very readable book introduces us to Trudy, a young woman who is bouncing up against societal expectations in her comfortable Milwaukee home in the waning hours of the 19th century. To everyones surprise, she chooses to leave her well scripted future and marry and run off with a dreamer

I wish I could give the book 3.5 stars, because although I wouldn't say I really liked it, there is something about that makes me keep thinking about it. So the book is about a young woman who becomes a lighthouse keeper with her new husband, and what happens to them in their remote outpost. It takes place in the early twentieth century and has some good historical aspects. So what kind of story is it? It is a "coming-of-age" story in the sense that the main character, Trudy Swann, changes from

i LOVED this story! Had a flight to DC and started it sitting at airport and did NOT want to put it down! Beautiful story, takes place in the 1890's. Trudy, raised in a well to do family in Milwaukee, her life pretty well planned out, marriage and family suddenly falls for the brother of her fiance! and even more suddenly, finds herself traveling across the country to the coast of California, current day Big Sur to be the wife of a lighthouse keeper! Remote is not even the word to describe where
