We Burned So Bright : The heartfelt and emotional novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author

‘Like being wrapped up in a big gay blanket’ – V. E. Schwab, author of Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil, on The House in the Cerulean Sea

<h2>The world is ending in thirty days. </h2>A wandering black hole is approaching Earth, and soon, everything will be gone. For husbands Don and Rodney, forty years of marriage suddenly feels like no time at all.

<h2>One last road trip. One final chance to say goodbye.</h2>From the Sunday Times bestselling author of The House in the Cerulean Sea comes a story about what we owe the people we love when time runs out. Don and Rodney are in a race against the clock, driving from Maine to Washington State to settle unfinished business before the sky breaks.

<h2>Is it enough to burn bright, even if nothing remains of the ashes?</h2>Along the way, they encounter a world choosing how to spend its final moments—from impromptu weddings and bright bonfires to those simply sharing a final meal. Under a kaleidoscope sky and a cracked moon, Don and Rodney must look back on a lifetime of highs and lows and ask the ultimate question: was our best good enough?

<h2>A bittersweet, life-affirming masterpiece about love, legacy, and the beauty of a life well-lived.</h2>
