About this title

Review:

"From the start, "The Edge of the Earth" enticed me into its strange and isolated world - the jagged-rocked landscape around a California lighthouse over a hundred years ago. The details of time and place are vivid, yet the dilemmas of Trudy's new marriage certainly transcend this beautiful novel's dreamlike setting. And Schwarz is a masterful storyteller: perfect pacing, secrets and suspense, and characters who aren't what they seem kept me entranced as the pages turned. If you want a story to envelop you, this is it."--Laura Moriarty "New York Times bestselling author of The Chaperone "

"Christina Schwarz's gift of detail makes the characters leap off the page and her expert handling of suspense allows for a cliffhanger ending that you won't see coming. I loved this book!"--Sarah Jio "New York Times bestselling author of Blackberry Winter "
