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.
