'Terrific.' Richard Russo
'A revelation.' Megan Abbott

Between looking after her brother, attending night classes, and the combination of jobs she juggles, Lynette is dangerously tired. And when, after years of trying to scrape together enough for a mortgage, her plan is derailed, she must embark on a desperate odyssey through a city of greed.

Set over two days and nights, The Night Always Comes holds up a mirror to a society which leaves too many people only a step away from ruin.

'The book pulls you into the story and you can't wait to find out what happens next.'

'Fabulous . . . part suspenseful action and part deep character study.'

Rezensionen

This is a novel that lives firmly in the melancholia of the city's gentrification, hurtling readers through one woman's desperation to keep her life afloat in a city that's pushing its working class out, one razed lot at a time. New York Times
