Comments:
The book’s title refers to an annual celebration on Martha’s Vineyard, in which hundreds of Japanese lanterns are set to glowing in a park. It provides the setting for this novel, which involves the mundane details of life, while managing to elevate them with mythic forcefulness, much like Fred’s illustration.
