A Northern Light

Read this one a number of years ago and remember enjoying it. Wish there was a category for historical fiction as this is based on a true story. In fact in 2006 there was an article in the paper about it's 100th anniversary - which I found amazing since I'm here in California and it happened in upstate New York. Good book, one I've recommended to others since reading it.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
traveling in my historical fiction bookbox
This is a novel written around the events that inspired Theodore Dreiser's An American Tragedy, in which a woman is drowned at a very elite upstate NY community. I was intrigued by that novel, by the real events which surrounded it, and I'm sure I'll like this novel, too ... WHENEVER I get a chance to read it!
Thank you, Ladybug74, for organizing this book box!
August 4, 2018: I've just read a slide-show documentary on YouTube about The Grace Brown Murder Case, the real life story that inspired the Dreiser novel, and then realized I still had this book here to be read. Brought it down from the upstairs archives, but not sure when I'll get to it!
