Cate, Teddy, Ames, and Sloane—newly minted Class of 2001 graduates—are reeling from their first heartbreaks when the Twin Towers fall, intertwining their lives and futures in supernatural ways as the world they knew vanishes.

Written as a tribute to the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks being marked this year, never to be forgotten, Bright Stars is a portrait of the tragedy that dented the romantic imagination of a forgotten generation—The Last of the Innocents—just as offline life disappeared forever.

Glowing with the tenderness and magic of Beautiful Ruins and the pathos and humor of French Exit, Bright Stars is Kimberley Tait's sophomore novel: a captivating story of fate, love, and human connection, and a time machine that will transport you back to the closing days of the era the world is now longing for.

Bright Stars is the inaugural title from Dogstar Press, the independent publisher devoted to beauty, sincerity, and 100% human fiction. A collectible series using a unique, elegant format and timeless design by Claire Mason, designer of Penguin's beloved Little Black Classics, Dogstar honors books as enduring objects in an increasingly ephemeral world.
