The Year the Lights Came On

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 II, 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.
