We’re excited to share with you your September read, The Blue Hour by Tiffany Clarke Harrison!
A photographer, an infertile mother, a bi-racial woman – the threads of our protagonist’s identity intersect in this intense and poetic debut. Blue Hour is a lyrical meditation on grief, memory, and the passage of time.
The novel unfolds in delicate, evocative prose. Sentences are short, precise, packed with meaning, urging you to pause and reflect, even as you’re compelled to keep reading. It’s a profound exploration of loss, and the ambivalence of motherhood as an artist living in a racist America. Harrison’s writing captures the weight of this emotional journey with a grace that’s both powerful and tender.
The Blue Hour is the twilight period when day meets night. It’s a time of transition and in-between. This book beautifully captures that liminal space, where life and death, past and present, are in constant flux. It’s a novel that lingers with you long after you’ve turned the last page.
