His uncle has no children but has always liked Thomas, so he wants Thomas to take over the business when he’s ready to retire.Īnd it’s not just the country that the Brights are leaving behind. The Bright family – Pauline and Thomas and their three young girls – move to Philadelphia, leaving behind their life in the country so Thomas can take a job with his uncle running his mortuary. As Bright as Heaven SummaryĪs Bright as Heaven takes place in Philadelphia during WWI. This time, it sucked me right in and I couldn’t read it fast enough. Hallelujah! The reading gods were finally smiling down on me. The hardcover for As Bright as Heaven is fairly big, so I didn’t want to take that with us to Italy, so instead I requested a Kindle version and my hold came up two hours before we left for the airport. When we moved here, I requested it from the library and after two more renewals, I finally got got past that first page. I checked it out again, read a page or two, and then it went back again, unfinished. I checked it out back in April from my Arizona library and didn’t even crack it open before it was due back. It was possibly the book of the three I was most excited about, but somehow I just could not get into it. As Bright as Heaven by Susan Meissner was one of my three picks for the 2018 Summer round of Tell Me What to Read.
