One afternoon in the autumn of 1972, a lonely widow in Mt. Gilead, Illinois, offers to rent a room in her house to a socially awkward man, a stranger who has come to town. It is risky she doesnt know anything about him, and she hadnt thought to take in a renter. But Edith Green can no longer bear a life lived alone. Henry Dees, haunted by the past he carries with him from Tower Hill, Indiana, is plagued by a tremendous guilt about things he did and didnt do that led to the death of a little girl back home. How can he face the rest of his life? The Evening Shades is as moving and suspenseful as its predecessor, Pulitzer finalist The Bright Forever. But it is a story that stands alone a story of love found in middle age and the joy it promises, but not without serious complications. There is the bereaved family of the little girl, who are holding their own secrets about the mysterious disappearances of both the man who killed their daughter and Henry Dees. The Evening Shades is a poignant story of accommodation, resilience, forgiveness, and love in the face of all that threatens the splendour of our ordinary lives.
