Nothing Holds Back the Night, Paperback / softback Book

Nothing Holds Back the Night Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

In this moving autobiographical novel, the narrator’s mother, Lucile, raises her two daughters largely alone.

A former child model from a large Bohemian family, Lucile is younger and more glamorous than the other mothers: always in lipstick and stylishly dressed, wayward and wonderful.

But as the years pass her occasional sadness gives way to overwhelming despair and delusion. This is a story of luminous beauty and rambunctious joy, of dark secrets and silences, revelations and, ultimately, the unknowability of even those closest to us. And in the face of the unknowable, personal history becomes fiction. Nothing Holds Back the Night is universally recognisable and singularly heartbreaking.
