  • "Trudy escapes her banal life to live and work at an isolated lighthouse in Point Lucia, California with mysterious and energetic Oskar. What they discover hiding among the rocks changes everything."@en
  • "Trudy, a youngwoman from a well-off family, has chosen to defy her parents by rejecting the respectable young man she was to marry for Oskar, an ambitious adventurer whom she follows to California. But Point Lucia, where Oskar has taken a job as lighthouse keeper, is a forbidding place that is eerily isolated-and almost as strange as the Crawleys, a family whose plain appearance belies their true natures."
  • ""In 1898, a woman forsakes the comfort of home and family for a love that takes her to a remote lighthouse on the wild coast of California. What she finds at the edge of the earth, hidden between the sea and the fog, will change her life irrevocably"--Dust jacket flap."
  • "Trudy is a polished, educated young woman from a respectable upper-middle-class family, and it's assumed she'll marry the son of her parents' closest friends. Yet Trudy is restless for more stimulation than 1897 Milwaukee allows. When she falls in love with enigmatic and ambitious Oskar, Trudy believes she's found her escape. The couple leaves for a job at a remote California lighthouse, where it turns out there is more going on than Trudy could ever have imagined."

  • "In 1898, a woman forsakes the comfort of home and family for a love that takes her to a remote lighthouse on the wild coast of California. What she finds at the edge of the earth, hidden between the sea and the fog, will change her life irrevocably. Trudy, who can argue Kant over dinner and play a respectable portion of Mozart's Serenade in G major, has been raised to marry her childhood friend and assume a life of bourgeois comfort in Milwaukee. She knows she should be pleased, but she's restless instead, yearning for something she lacks even the vocabulary to articulate. When she falls in love with enigmatic and ambitious Oskar, she believes she's found her escape from the banality of her preordained life. But escape turns out to be more fraught than Trudy had imagined. Alienated from family and friends, the couple moves across the country to take a job at a lighthouse at Point Lucia, California'an unnervingly isolated outcropping, trapped between the ocean and hundreds of miles of inaccessible wilderness. There they meet the light station's only inhabitants'the formidable and guarded Crawleys. In this unfamiliar place, Trudy will find that nothing is as she might have predicted, especially after she discovers what hides among the rocks. Gorgeously detailed, swiftly paced, and anchored in the dramatic geography of the remote and eternally mesmerizing Big Sur, The Edge of the Earth is a magical story of secrets and self-transformation, ruses and rebirths. Christina Schwarz, celebrated for her rich evocation of place and vivid, unpredictable characters, has spun another haunting and unforgettable tale."@en
