If you’re looking for something filled with magic and emotions this is the one for you! While I tend to read books that are filled with lots of action and romance, this book has a kind of quiet of the calm in the eye of a storm.

Review: A beautifully written story about closure.

She disappears again-but this time, she leaves behind a note that will send Eli on a journey across continents, to the northern tip of the world: It’s all too much, too fast, and Eli pushes her mother away. Narwhals swimming in Cape Cod Bay, meteorites landing in Eli’s yard, and three shadowy princesses with ominous messages. And she doesn’t return alone.Īlong with Eli’s mother’s reappearance come strange, impossible things. Her mother appears, with snowy hair, frosty fingertips and a hazy story of where she’s been all these years. But when the Northern Lights are visible over the Cape for just one night, she can’t resist the possibility of seeing her mother again. Now Eli lives an ordinary life with her dad on Cape Cod. She was there ten years ago, on a frozen fjord in Svalbard, Norway, the night her mother whistled at the lights and then vanished. Sixteen-year-old Eline Davis knows it’s true. Never whistle at the Northern Lights, the story goes, or they’ll sweep down from the sky and carry you away. Synopsis: “ The Hazel Wood meets The Astonishing Color of After in this dreamy, atmospheric novel that follows sixteen-year-old Eli as she tries to remember what truly happened the night her mother disappeared off a glacier in Norway under the Northern Lights. It's all too much, too fast, and Eli pushes her mother away.*I received an ARC of The Wide Starlight by Nicole Lesperance through Netgalley, but this in no way affected my honest opinion about the book.*
