BRIGHT OBJECTS

Part literary mystery, part astronomy lesson, this audiobook, narrated by Casey Withoos, provides listeners with a compelling story set in Australia in 1997. Sylvia Knight is recovering from the hit-and-run that made her a widow more than two years ago. She believes she knows who killed her husband, but no one has been held accountable. Sylvia is working as an assistant in a funeral home when she meets Theo St. John, the discoverer of a rare comet that is approaching town. As it draws closer, quirky Joseph Evans, a mystic, believes it brings a celestial message. Withoos does a remarkable job of creating distinctive characters and capturing the story's setting as Sylvia contends with grief and the complexities of moving on.
