A man comes to awareness in a church in rural Iceland, not knowing why he's there or how he arrived. When a local woman offers to reunite him with her sister, he realizes he's lost not only his bearings, but his memory as well: he doesn't recall either sister, nor their mother, the woman buried beneath the stone. As their stories unfold, he's plunged into a history spanning centuries and lives: a city girl drawn to the fjords by the memory of a blue-eyed gaze; a pastor who writes to dead poets and falls in love with a stranger from afar; a woman who must abandon her son to save her family; a musician plagued by cosmic loneliness; and an alcoholic transfixed by the night sky. Faced with the violence of destiny and the effects of choices, made and avoided, that cascade between lives, each discovers the cost of happiness. An incandescent romance about the misfortune of mortality and the strange salve of time, Your Absence Is Darkness is a spellbinding story of death, desire, and the perfect agony of star-crossed love."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Country life $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Communities $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Iceland $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft. 700 1 $a Roughton, Philip, $e translator. 830 0 $a Biblioasis international translation series ; $v 45. 941 $a 3 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240702025752.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619012700.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240402011845.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8D4E8EC4F0B811EE9EC0998A3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
