Description
A damaged father battles to save his son from the sinister cult he is destined to serve - from cult sensation Mariana Enriquez, author of the International Booker Prize-shortlisted The Dangers of Smoking in Bed.
Our Share of Night conjures a poetry of dread, artfully employing the vocabulary of supernatural horror as the one voice capable of articulating Argentina's unspeakable history. With realism in its magic and magic in its realism, this is a magnificent accomplishment and a genuine work of power.
A masterful, unsettling novel from one of Latin America's most exciting authors
A novel so disquieting, so unsettling I could neither put it down, nor read it late at night. Enriquez's short stories had already made me a fan for life - her novel is going to haunt me for the rest of my life
A singular, soul-rattling novel... Mariana Enriquez's terrifying, lush, blood-soaked epic masterfully uses the occult to depict unspeakable brutality, political oppression, and the tragedy of Argentina's disappeared to devastating effect, while powerfully exploring the lengths a parent will go to protect their child. I've never read anything like it and I'll never forget my time in Enriquez's mesmerizing world.
Enriquez is a masterful world builder. And the one she creates here devastates. This engrossing mixture of supernatural horror and intimate storytelling will leave an indelible but instructive mark on readers
Epic and intimate, lyrical and brutal, horrifying and defiantly hopeful, and one of the best novels of the 21st century. I'm going to press this book into the hands of everyone I know
I was positively bewitched by Our Share of Night. As Mariana Enriquez's occult saga slashes through time, a dazzling maze of unstoppable parental love, unshakeable destinies and bloodthirsty legacies, both familial and political, emerges. Towering, electric, wild - this novel is a masterpiece and a true original.
