I loved this book. I was torn between wanting to devour it in one breathless read and needing to stop and savor each gorgeous turn of phrase. This is a remarkable debut. -Morgan Matson, author of Amy & Roger's Epic Detour and Since You've Been Gone This Raging Light is a funny, poetic, big-hearted reminder that life can -- and will -- take us all by surprise sometimes. -Jennifer E. Smith, author of The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight and The Geography of You and Me Estelle Laure writes with power and lyricism--but more than that, she writes honestly from the heart. Definitely a writer to watch! -A.M. Jenkins, Printz Honor winning author of Repossessed With This Raging Light , Estelle Laure establishes herself as a literary heavyweight. Laure's characters mimic her writing, at once visceral and brave, unafraid to confront love in its every facet-surprising, surpassing, flawed. This book is a thick quilt in a cold room, and I want to wrap myself in it. -David Arnold, author of Mosquitoland [Laure] has a raw, authentic voice and a passion for storytelling. -Matt de la Peña, Pura Belprée honoree and award-winning YA novelist of The Living and Mexican WhiteBoy sakriti opis
