William and Molly lead a life of small pleasures, riddles at the
kitchen table, and games of string and orange peels. All around
them a city rages with war. When the uprising began, William's wife
was taken, leaving him alone with their young daughter. They keep
their heads down and try to remain unnoticed as police patrol the
streets, enforcing a curfew and arresting citizens. But when an old
friend seeks William out, claiming to know what happened to his
wife, William must risk everything. He ventures out after dark, and
young Molly is left to play, reconstructing his dangerous voyage,
his past, and their future. An astounding portrait of fierce love
within a world of random violence, "The Curfew "is a mesmerizing
feat of literary imagination.
