Happy book birthday to Garth Stein’s A Sudden Light! A delightful crowd gathered Monday night in the historic Stimson-Green Mansion, inspiration for a prominent setting in the novel that Maria Semple (Where’d You Go, Bernadette) describes as “a grand, gorgeous, multi-generational epic of the Pacific Northwest.”

Garth looked very dapper in his tux. Among the guests were Garth’s agent, Jeff Kleinman, and Trish Todd, Garth’s editor, both visiting from the east coast.
A Sudden Light is available now at your favorite independent bookstore.
Love the vintage vibe to these shots!
Thanks, Brian! It was a magical setting– perfect atmosphere for the book!
