From the acclaimed author of The Last Year of the War comes a novel set during the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, telling the story of a family reborn through loss and love.

In 1918, Philadelphia was a city teeming with promise. Even as its young men went off to fight in the Great War, there were opportunities for a fresh start on its cobblestone streets. Into this bustling town came Pauline Bright and her husband, filled with hope that they could now give their three daughters - Evelyn, Maggie, and Willa - a chance at a better life.

But just months after they arrive, the Spanish Flu reaches the shores of America. As the pandemic claims more than 12,000 victims in their adopted city, they find their lives left with a world that looks nothing like the one they knew. But even as they lose loved ones, they take in a baby orphaned by the disease who becomes their single source of hope. Amid the tragedy and challenges, they learn what they cannot live without - and what they are willing to do about it.

As Bright as Heaven is the compelling story of a mother and her daughters who find themselves in a harsh world not of their making, which will either crush their resolve to survive or purify it.

Being an avid reader, it takes an exceptional author for me to say" wow, I didn't see that coming ! " 3 times I was surprised by the twist and turns of the story. Most of the time I can anticipate a story line or ending way before it happens. I will definitely be on the lookout for more of Susan's books. Narrating Complimented the story, very well done!!!!

I chose this book because of “sheltering in place”’and wanting to be in relationship with the characters living through a similar historical event. I was not disappointed. Loved the characters and could not turn off listening. It’s 3 AM!

Heartfelt story of another pandemic as we live through COVID19!

As I listened to this book, I couldn't help but think of the recent world pandemic. The characters and situations could have been ours. It held me captive and I couldn't put it down. I would highly recommend this book either via audio book or hard back.

I enjoyed this story very much. I do want to mention the voice for “Maggie” really got on my nerves in the 2nd part of the book.
I felt like the ending could have gone on, rather than dropping off like it did- but I did enjoy listening.

Beautiful story

This was my first Susan Meissner book, but won’t be my last. Well written and a great, even though tragic, story line. Having experienced Covid epidemic, it brings more light to the Spanish Flu which occurred when treatments and care were much less available.

My first Susan Meissner book

I always love a historical fiction and this did not dissapointed! I had no knowledge of the Spanish flu, what an awful pandemic. I love the way the story ended and all the details that came together to make it happen.

Wonderful read

I loved the novel's complexity and storytelling.The different voices for Mama, Evie, Maggie and Willa created a deeper richness I might have missed just reading. I was surprised to enjoy as much as I did a book about a pandemic, post-pandemic.

Beautiful

I’m a Susan Meissener fan so maybe I’m biased. This novel requires your patience. It’s not a fast paced story. The telling of details & the expression of each character’s thoughts takes time & that is the story. When listening you must take this into account.
This is an excellent piece of writing.

Excellent!
