An illuminating debut following three women in sub-Saharan Africa as they search for home and family. Leona, an isolated American anthropologist, provides birth to child young lady in a remote control Maasai town and must determine how she can be considered a mother, in spite of her own grim childhood. Jane, a lonesome expat wife, practices her hubby to the tropics and learns just how fragile life is. Simi, a barren Maasai girl, must confront her infertility in a world in which females are valued by their reproductive roles. In such a affecting debut novel, these three completely different women grapple with motherhood, re-calibrate their identities and confront unexpected tragedies and triumphs. In beautiful, evocative prose, Adrienne Benson brings alive the dazzling Kenyan surfaces as these women's lives intertwine in sudden ways. As they face their own difficulties and heartbreaks, they find power traversing the arid panoramas of tenuous human connection. With gripping poignancy, The Brightest Sun explores the heartbreak of loss, the struggle to find a sense of owed, and the unexpected ways we find our family and home.
