Overview
In the wake of his wife’ s death, Nick Nacht finds himself adrift, seeking emotional renewal among strangers in unfamiliar places. As he navigates the challenges of grief, he encounters a tapestry of lives— an impulsive teenage girl, a married woman with a hidden agenda, a new neighbor’ s pet bird, a young poet grappling with her own demons, and a woman who translates indigenous texts. Over the course of a year, from the sunny shores of Florida to the vibrant Mediterranean, these vivid encounters push him toward a reckoning with his deep feelings of loss and abandonment. With quick, lyrical prose, Skylighting unfolds a surprisingly intricate story, weaving together moments of connection and solitude. As Nick navigates the complexities of grief, he learns that healing can emerge from the most unexpected places, illuminating a path toward renewal and hope amid the shadows of sorrow.
