'Lo writes tenderly about the first buds of teenage desire amid a downtown hipster at scene.' DAILY MAIL
'Poignant, vivid and so beautifully written. I adored it.' LAURA KAY
A Scatter of Light is a companion novel to the National Book Awards winner and New York Times bestseller Last Night at the Telegraph Club, and is about how the threads of family, inspiration, art, and identity are woven across generations.
Aria Tang West thought she'd be spending one last summer on Martha's Vineyard with her friends before starting MIT in the fall, where she intends to study astronomy, like her late grandfather. But after topless photos of her are posted online, she's abruptly uninvited from her friends' summer homes.
Aria's parents, a writer and opera singer with plans of their own, send Aria to stay with her artist grandmother, Joan West, in Northern California. Although Aria has never been attracted to girls before, she finds herself drawn to Joan's gardener, Steph Nichols, an aspiring musician a few years older than Aria. The only problem? Steph isn't single; she lives with her girlfriend, Lisa. But the chemistry between Aria and Steph seems undeniable, and this will be a summer that will turn her world upside down.

Ich habe dieses Buch sehr gemocht. Die Art, wie die Autorin Dinge beschreibt und verwirklicht fand ich einfach nur toll. Ich kann nicht viel über das Buch sagen, man muss es euer gelesen, gefühlt haben. Die Charaktere fand ich schön, die Story manchmal etwas langatmig und verloren in Details aber doch auch immer so, dass es am Ende Sinn ergibt und ab und an hatte ich so mitgefühlt, dass ich Tränen in den Augen hatte.
»To not feel that yearning for her would be stranger than to feel it.«
'A Scatter of Light' is a capture of coming to terms with one's identity and experiencing first love. I was able to connect with the story and its characters. The whole book was a positive reading experience. I also loved getting to know more about Lily's and Kath's life after the ending of 'Last Night at the Telegraph Club'. Would definitely recommend!
