"A funny, compelling love story from the freshest voice I've heard in years. "Shine Shine Shine" picked me up and left me changed in ways I never expected. Intelligent, emotional, and relentlessly new, Netzer answers questions you didn't know you were already asking and delivers an unforgettable take on what it means to love, to be a mother, and to be human." --Sara Gruen, "#1 New York Times" bestselling author of "Water for Elephants "and "Ape House" "From the icy dead surface of the moon to the hot center of the human heart, Lydia Netzer's debut novel takes you on a journey that will rattle your bones. Part science fiction, part pure magic of the human kind, Netzer makes a book that is wholly her own, and endlessly fascinating. At every turn, you think she cannot astonish you again, and then she does it one more time. And then again and again and again. This is an astounding first novel by a writer who is unique in her immense gifts." --Robert Goolrick, #1 New York Times bestselling author of "A Reliable Wife" "Creating one of the most compelling protagonists I've read in a long time, Lydia Netzer manages to capture the outsider in each of us. Whether looking at the moon, a child, the suburban landscape, or the face in the mirror, Netzer shows us something we've never seen before, something we thought we knew. A beautifully written story where the exception proves the rule: the things that seem to divide us are, ultimately, the very things that unite us." --Brunonia Barry, "New York Ti"mes bestselling author of "The Lace Reader" and "The Map of True Places." "A perfectly structured gem of a book that held me spellbound as I unraveled the twisted histories of this unconventional family. You've never read anything like it, and yet Sunny's story is every woman's story. We are all outsiders, all alone in space, all trying so hard to find a place called home. I loved this book." --Joshilyn Jackson, "New York Times" bestselling author of "gods in Al --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
