Description

A powerful and haunting novel about the enduring impact of a single image. In this gripping story, a photograph captures the heart-stopping moment when a young girl flees a fiery explosion that has engulfed her home and family. The image becomes an icon, winning acclaim and prizes, but also sparking obsession in one writer who has suffered a tragedy of their own. As the photographer's best friend becomes increasingly fixated on the image, the lives of two girls are forever altered by the flash of a camera. This is a story about the devastating consequences of trauma, the power of art to capture and convey emotion, and the complex relationships between creatives. With its unflinching portrayal of human suffering, Lidia Yuknavitch's novel is a thought-provoking exploration of the ways in which our lives are shaped by the images we see.
