Beginning in 1962 with a shocking loss, Shining Sea quickly
pulls us into the lives of forty-three -year-old Michael Gannon's widow
and offspring. Brilliantly described and utterly alive on the page, the
Gannon clan find themselves charting paths they never anticipated, for
decades to come. Told with a cinematic sweep, Shining Sea
transports us from World War II to the present day, crisscrossing from
the beaches of Southern California to the Woodstock rock festival, from
London's gritty nightlife in the eighties to Scotland's remote Inner
Hebrides, from the dry heat of Arizona to the fertile farmland of
Massachusetts. Epic, tender, and beautifully rendered, Shining Sea is
the portrait of an American family-a profound depiction of the ripple
effects of war, the passing down of memory, the making of myth, and the
power of the ideal of heroism to lead us astray but sometimes also to
keep us afloat.
