Review:
"At her best, Wigging here belongs in the company of Eudora Welty....[T]he author brings these characters to life even as Ray (as in ray of light) and Opal (opalescence) begin to seem overtly apocryphal."
Kirkus, 05/02/2003
Review:"Marianne Wiggins has written something approaching an epic, and it could have been dangerous. She is a writer who takes wild risks of style and story. She gets where she's going by going too far....There is roughness in EVIDENCE OF THINGS UNSEEN....This time, though, she has schooled her winged horse to transport human riders. Even with their epic stirrings her characters are wryly, plangently particular."
Richard Eder, New York Times Book Review, 07/20/2003

Book Description: SIMON SCHUSTER, United States, 2004. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 1st Simon Schuster Pbk. Ed. 210 x 135 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. This poetic historical novel, set between the world wars, tells the story of an American couple and their adopted son, Lightfoot. Fos, a chemist intrigued with constellations, bioluminescence and x-rays, returns from the war in France and falls in love with Opal, the daughter of a glassblower on the Outer Banks of N.C. They move to Knoxville, where Fos and an army buddy have a photography studio, and travel to summer fairs with Fos's x-ray machine. When Opal inherits a farm on the Clinch River, they move again, and live happily with Lightfoot, who had been abandoned, until the property is claimed for a TVA dam. In 1941, Fos gets a job at the Oak Ridge Laboratory-Site X in the government's race to build the bomb. Their lives proceed from innocence and fascination with "things that glow" to the day in Aug. 1945 when the atomic bomb is dropped over Hiroshima. But when Opal falls ill with radiation poisoning, Fos's great faith in science deserts him. Marianne's writing is powerful and hypnotic, and the lives of her characters beautifully follow the arc of 20th century American life and belief.
