How the accident happens (vividly detailed and choreographed by Shapiro) and how it is handled (never to be spoken of again) will haunt the survivors, and those pulled into the accident's orbit, for the rest of the book.
For a novel that starts with a crash — literally — Dani Shapiro’s 11th book, Signal Fires, turns out to be a quieter and more philosophical work than its dramatic, tragic opening might suggest.
A family story, told in the gorgeous, evocative language she’s known for.
Like creating an intricate origami puzzle, Shapiro folds together the events that define these lives over decades, focusing on specific interludes to divulge old secrets or bury new ones.
Shapiro writes with compassion and a deep understanding of the damage that secrets wreak. Shapiro’s first novel in 15 years was well worth the wait..
Beautiful.
Moody, meditative.
