Representaion In Favor Of Books Lights on the Sea
"Miquel Reina's Lights on the Sea is an absolutely lovely, beautiful novel with a dreamy, fable-like quality. Fans of Life of Pi will love this novel." – Kristin Hannah, NYT bestseller author of "The Nightingale"In this riveting debut, prize-winning artist and filmmaker Miquel Reina maps out ambitious and fantastical new territory in a novel about a couple holding on for dear life as their world takes an extraordinary fall…
On the highest point of an island, in a house clinging to the edge of a cliff, live Mary Rose and Harold Grapes, a retired couple still mourning the death of their son thirty-five years before. Weighed down by decades of grief and memories, the Grapes have never moved past the tragedy. Then, on the eve of eviction from the most beautiful and dangerously unstable perch in the area, they’re uprooted by a violent storm. The disbelieving Grapes and their home take a free-fall slide into the white-capped sea and float away.
As the past that once moored them recedes and disappears, Mary Rose and Harold are delivered from decades of sorrow by the ebb and flow of the waves. Ahead of them, a light shimmers on the horizon, guiding them toward a revelatory and cathartic new engagement with life, and all its wonder.
Wildly imaginative, deeply poignant, and entirely unexpected, Lights on the Sea sweeps readers away on a journey of fate, acceptance, redemption, and survival against the most rewarding of odds.

I love to find books that really surprise me. Lights on the Sea is a fable about the power of redemption and the fulfillment of dreams that has elements from Life of Pi or Aleph. The 2 main characters, Harold and Mary Rose Grapes are so well defined that sometimes I thought they were real. The story is beautifully written, surrounded by landscapes and images that gave me the feeling of being watching a film. I hope someday some studio decides to translate this marvelous story into a movieHarold and Mary Rose Grapes lead an isolated existence in their small yellow house perched on the edge of a cliff. Facing eviction due to the government deeming their house unsafe, Harold and Mary Rose go to bed after packing their belongings, resigned to accepting the inevitable. They wake in the morning, however, to find themselves in their little house adrift in the middle of the ocean. During the night the house had plunged off the cliff, and because it was built on porous volcanic rock,
I was completely enthralled with this story. Once I had started, I couldn't stop reading! I was so in love with Mr. and Mrs. Grapes that I didn't want the story to end, even though my breath caught numerous times in anticipation as to what would happen next. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to everyone. I thank Netgalley for allowing me to read and review this great book!
Wow! I just finished this amazing book today! I devoured it in only 3 days!! I found the other day by chance, when I was taking a look at amazon indie authors contest. Immediately I felt in love with this beautiful book cover. But don't misunderstand me, in this book, there is beauty everywhere, out of the book and also inside it. The story is so powerful, so uplifting that I still in shock! Miquel Reina please write more books, I want to read more of your creative and touching stories. I
Wasnt what I was expecting. Was really good easy read. Enjoyed this one.
"lights of the Sea" by Miquel Reina is truly unusual book. Can we imagine the elderly couple living on the edge of the cliff high above the ocean? ,That large ocean that eroded their cliff from large property to a few feet of land around the house, the same fierce ocean that took a life of their son, the same mysterious ocean that send a couple to their impossible journey had awaken them as the result of that journey to the new lights and revelations of lights. The book is very metaphorical in
The most imaginative adventure you'll embark on in your reading lifetime.
