The setting for Glass’s most recent novel takes place in a pristine coastal village on the east coast sometime in the near future. Told mainly by five narrators, Vigil Harbor describes what happens to the town and its citizens when two strangers suddenly arrive.

Because there are a number of different voices, it took me about 50 pages to get into Vigil Harbor. Once I did, it certainly qualified as a good read. Vigil Harbor was not as good as Glass’s first novel, Three Junes, but better than others of hers that I’ve read.
