The National Book Award-winning author on her best subject--family secrets- here is the story of a man searching for his father, upending relationships beyond his own and forever changing the way he fits into the world he thought he knew so well.
From the National Book Award-winning author of Three Junes, a"tender, insightful, and winning exploration of the modern family and the infinite number of shapes it can take" (People).
Kit Noonan is an unemployed art historian with twins to support, a mortgage to pay, and a frustrated wife who insists that, to move forward, Kit must first confront a crucial mystery about his past. Born to a single teenage mother, he has never known the identity of his biological father.
Kit's search begins with his onetime stepfather, Jasper, a take-no-prisoners Vermont outdoorsman, and ultimately leads him to Fenno McLeod, the beloved protagonist of Glass's award-winning novel Three Junes. Immersing readers in a panorama that stretches from Vermont to the tip of Cape Cod, And the Dark Sacred Night is an unforgettable novel about the youthful choices that steer our destinies, the necessity of forgiveness, and the risks we take when we face down the shadows of our past.
