A difficult and honest love story by Colm TóibÃn, author of Brooklyn.
Richard Garay lives alone with his mother, hiding his sexuality from her and from those around him. Stifled by a job he despises, he finds himself willing to take considerable risks. Set in Argentina in a time of great change, The Story of the Night is a powerful and moving novel about a man who, as the Falklands War is fought and lost, finds his own way to emerge into the world.
A remarkable achievement . . . The ease, the fluidity, the economy, the precision of Tóibín's masterly prose make this novel sheer pleasure to read.
