' Change one thing and everything changes. ' On a summer night in 1985, the lives of three teenagers are shattered by a horrific car crash in which a young woman is killed next to the sprawling oak tree that marks the perimeter of 18 Division Street. For the Wilfs, it will become the deepest kind of family secret, one so dangerous it can never be spoken. Secrets preside over the neighborhood along with the majestic oak. As we move through the decades, watching this family change and grow, we see how each of them is haunted by what they choose to ignore. Their lives become deeply entwined with the Shenkmans across the street, a couple with their own secrets and a lonely son who is captivated by the stars and a need to break free. As their stories collide in ways they never could have imagined, the past comes hurtling back to Division Street, setting in motion a spellbinding chain of events that will transform both families forever. Signal Fires is a work of haunting beauty, an exquisite portrait of one family' s world, and a testament to the human capacity to experience love and loss. With wry tenderness it shows how we are all connected through time in ways that are at once mysterious and profound.
Signal Fires cuts a gleaming window into our alternate lives so meticulously and gloriously that it is quite nearly a primer on how to live not only in the present, but in the past and future as well. Shapiro has crafted a stunning future classic -- Lisa Taddeo A wonderful novel, full of insight and compassion -- Mary Lawson Signal Fires is an urgent and compassionate meditation on memory, time, and space. In Shapiro' s elegant convergence of narrative threads, she creates a world that' s wrenching as it is wondrous -- Ruth Ozeki Because Dani Shapiro has delved so deeply into family secrets over the years, it' s no surprise that in Signal Fires she continues this exploration, both beautifully and searchingly. This novel is haunting, moving, and propulsive -- Meg Wolitzer Wise, deeply perceptive, suffused with light in spite of life' s darkness, Dani Shapiro' s Signal Fires is an amazing novel. Shapiro inhabits her characters with rare lucidity and compassion, and renders their ordinary lives transcendent -- Claire Messud
