1964: A dark summer night on a still black lake. A lantern is lit at the end of a dock. A blond girl in white appears and begins to dance, her body illuminated like the fireflies surrounding her. A second girl emerges from a house and is beckoned forward. The two meet, swim, and then kiss. Thus begins an ethereal romance and a young woman's journey into adulthood. The Firefly is Robin's story about her search for her elusive lover, who she nicknames The Firefly. It is a wonderfully written coming-of-age novel that kept me turning the pages as Robin never wavers from her quest. Egan is very skilled in bringing the reader into the moment with Robin. We accompany her on her journey, we are in the room with her, and we despair and rejoice with her!-Edith Zeitlberger, author of Fractures and Hinges: A Romance I ate it up! Brilliant pacing. I adored Robin! The entire book is endearing. Tenderness. I'm charmed. It unfolds perfectly across life's passages!
-Karla Linn Merrifield, author of Psyche's Scroll The Firefly expertly follows the vagaries of a young girl's life as she tries hard to direct her soul back to an unconditional love that fascinated her at one of her lowest points. This is an excellent, complex work and may well reign supreme alongside Egan's other works.
-Nat Burns, author of Rosemary Egan's novel is a compelling read that draws the reader to it, like a firefly in the night. Will Robin and the Firefly ever meet again? Will it all turn out to be illusion, a trick of the light?
