At the close of the Civil Conflict, weary veteran Malcolm Hopeton comes back to his home in Western New York Talk about to find his wife and hired man missing and his farm in disrepair. A double murder ensues, the repercussions which ripple by way of a community with spiritual roots in the Second Great Awakening. Hopeton has truly gone from the horrors of battle to those much worse, and arrayed around him are a host of other folks struggling to seem sensible of his crime. Among them is Enoch Natural stone, the legal professional for the community, whose spiritual determination is subverted by his lust for vitality; August Swarthout, whose wife has kept earthly time and whose eyesight is defined on eternity; and a youngster who must straddle two worlds as he sees his own truth and strength. Always there is love and the recollection of love - as haunting as the American Eden that Jeffrey Lent has so exquisitely rendered in this remarkable book. A Slant of Light is a book of earthly pleasure and deep love, of loss and battle, of prophets and fans, of robbery and revenge, in an American moment where a seemingly golden age has been shattered. That is Jeffrey Lent on his home surface with the level of his forces.
