A beautiful hardback proof of Signal Fires by Dani Shapiro was sent to me by the kind folk at @vintagebooks and I’m so glad I took them up on the offer to read this remarkable story. Thank you to them! This is the story of two very different families whose lives intersect in moments of crisis and need, which ends up having serious reverberations in the future. The story begins in 1985 and we are taken to one of those crisis points - three teenagers in a car who had been drinking, a horrific accident and we begin to see the aftershocks of that fatal night on the Wilf family, where Ben Wilf, a trained doctor and father of two of the teenagers, is first to respond at the scene. Nearby, we have the Shenkman family - a young couple expecting a baby who becomes Waldo, an intelligent boy who is fascinated by constellations and the connections between everything in the world. Sadly for him, his father struggles to connect both with his enthusiasm and forming a bond with his son. As the two families’ fates become entwined we begin to understand the deeper connections and crucial moments they’ve shared and will continue to share moving forwards. I loved how this inter-connecting thread of the narrative was woven between all the characters and expertly picked up at specific, important moments. Signal Fires is also a novel with so much heart and soul bursting from each page. The relationships that form and divide are so intricately woven that it was a pleasure to connect all the dots and to see the development/growth of characters as they are brought together in stressful and unprecedented situations. Waldo in particular had my heart from the very beginning and one of the most memorable scenes for me is one in which he introduces Dr Wilf to the magic of the constellations. This is a poignant and gorgeous story that I would highly recommend to fans of beautiful storytelling and complex family dynamics.
