The Scent of Bright Light

Fiction

“An achievement of imagination, wit, learning, and tenderness. Jean Dudek’s debut novel brings the reader into intimate, almost familiar contact with the mysterious and strange biblical world in which Sarah lived—in which she breathed, ate, suffered, endured, and laughed. With characteristic concision and precision, Dudek lays before the reader a lavish work about pain and triumph, faithfulness and frailty, gain, loss, and most importantly humanity. Be prepared to be surprised and delighted!”
