The Year the Lights Came on by Terry Kay

The Year the Lights Came on by Terry Kay

First published in 1976, The Year the Lights Came On was Terry Kay's debut novel. Revolving around the electrification of rural northeast Georgia shortly after the end of World War I, the novel has become a classic coming-of-age story. Kay, now an acclaimed writer with an international following, has reread the novel with the eyes of a seasoned storyteller. Cutting here and adding there, Kay has enriched an already highly comical and poignant work. The Year the Lights Came On is ready to find its place in the hearts of a new generation.

A deliciously nostalgic look at the whole experience of Growing Up- Christian Science Monitor ""A lovely, moving, suspenseful story with that rare quality which so few writers achieve, the thing that makes you say, 'That's the way it was. I remember'"" - Celestine Sibley, Atlanta Constitution

Terry Kay, the author of eleven books, was inducted into the Georgia Writers Hall of Fame in 2006.

Kay lives in Athens, Georgia.
