A Light Amongst Shadows was a lovely read. It takes place in England during the late 1800s. There is no date that I remember but the time period feels right. I could be wrong. It follows James as he arrives at Whisperwood the boarding school he will attend. He is 17 years old and beginning his third year (junior). It is his first year attending a public school (private boarding school). Most boys start their freshmen year if not earlier. James settles into the school and a circle of friends. Several things stand apart concerning James and his friends. James is gay, which in that time period is a crime, and he hears and sees things that he shouldn't. Like ghosts. There is so much to this story. Rich historical fiction, delicious mystery, coming of age, and supernatural. Kale Williams does an excellent job narrating the story. He handles the voices well, adult or teen, alive or dead. His narration adds another layer to this wonderful story. I received a copy of A Light Among the Shadows from Tantor Audio in exchange for an honest review.
