Redefining the Beach Read
By
Lynn Rosen
At first Rudy did not even know that Lydia, too, was writing a novel, but finally she was given to read a manuscript that had been ten years in the making. "I read it and absolutely loved it, but thought it's so quirky and odd I don't know if it's mainstream enough."
What makes "Shine, Shine, Shine" "quirky" is both its subject matter and its structure. The story revolves around Sunny, who's been bald since birth, her astronaut husband Maxon, a Nobel-prize-winning genius who can barely hold a conversation, their brilliant autistic son Bubber, and Sunny's mother, who's in hospital dying. "She's fine," Sunny tells a friend. "But I thought she was on life support," the friend replies. "Yes, and it's working," replies Sunny.
