Two young men are swimming naked in an Adirondack lake when they
hear a motor, a car appears, and two women get out, one with an
orange scarf around her head. It's 1936: New York is suffering
through the Great Depression, frightening things are happening in
Europe, and Artie Saltzman and Harold Abramovitz, friends since
their Brooklyn childhood, are unsure about everything--jobs, lefty
politics, women. After this time in the mountains, nothing will be
quite the same.
From World War II to the McCarthy-era witch hunts, through work,
marriages, and life with children, Artie and Harold turn to each
other, whether for solace or another good argument. And when
Artie's daughter Brenda comes of age during the 1960s, her
struggles with jobs, love, and friendship in yet another period of
political turmoil recall Artie and Harold's youth.
A sweeping yet intimate novel about people who never stop loving
one another despite everything life throws at them, When We Argued
All Night illuminates a friendship over more than sixty-five years,
as the twentieth century gives way to the changed yet recognizable
times in which we live.
