Benjamin Alire Sáenz

4.9/5 (20094 ratings)

Description:From award-winning poet Benjamin Alire Sáenz comes In Perfect Light, a haunting novel that explores the cruelties of cultural displacement and the resilience of those left in its aftermath.In Perfect Light follows the story of two strong-willed individuals who are forever altered by a single tragedy. After Andés Segovia's parents are killed in a car accident when he is still a young boy, his older brother decides to steal the family away to Juárez, Mexico. This decision, made with the best intentions, sets in motion the unraveling of an American family.Years later, with his family destroyed, Andés is left to make sense of the chaos—but he is ill-equipped to navigate his life. He embarks on a dark journey toward self-destruction, his talent and brilliance overshadowed by the weight of a burden too frightening and maddening to bear alone. This frustration manifests as a singular rage, which finds an outlet in a dark and seedy El Paso bar—leading him, improbably, to Grace Delgado.Recently confronted with her own sense of isolation and mortality, Grace is an unlikely angel. A therapist, she agrees to treat Andés after he is arrested in the United States. Though initially suspicious of each other, they slowly develop a tentative working relationship that allows both to confront their fragile and damaged pasts. Andés begins to examine the violence that lies beneath his actions, while Grace comes to understand how she has contributed to her own self-exile and isolation. What begins as an intriguing favour to a friend becomes Grace's lifeline—even as secrets surrounding the death of Andés' parents threaten to unravel their fragile connection.With the urgent, unflinching vision of a true storyteller and the precise, arresting language of a poet, Sáenz’s In Perfect Light bears witness to the cruelty of circumstance. More than offering escape, the novel presents the possibility of salvation.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
