The Edge of the Earth
of Christina Schwarz (Goodreads Author)
Description
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 itâs only a matter of time before sheâll marry Ernst, the son of her parentsâ 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 sheâs found her escape from the banality of her pre-ordained life. Alienated from Trudyâs 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 stationâs only inhabitantsâthe Crawleys, a family whose plain appearance is no indication of what lies below the surface. It isnât 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.
