LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2020 LONGLISTED FOR
THE RSL ONDAATJE PRIZE 2020 A BBC RADIO 2 BOOK CLUB PICK THE DEBUT
NOVEL FROM THE COSTA SHORT STORY AWARD WINNER 'A sharp, funny,
wonderful writer' Diana Evans, bestselling author of Ordinary
People 'Compelling...finely crafted, compassionate' Guardian 'A
warm, confident writer with the lightest of touches' Observer
'Pacey and powerful' Mail on Sunday 'The type of story that will
stay with you long after you've read the last page' Closer
'Brilliant...touches on race, mental health and community in a
fresh way' Good Housekeeping 'Flawlessly portrayed...A riveting
read' Candis * * * * * On an ordinary Saturday morning in 1996, the
residents of Nightingale Point wake up to their normal lives and
worries. Mary has a secret life that no one knows about, not even
Malachi and Tristan, the brothers she vowed to look after. Malachi
had to grow up too quickly. Between looking after Tristan and
nursing a broken heart, he feels older than his twenty-one years.
Tristan wishes Malachi would stop pining for Pamela. No wonder he's
falling in with the wrong crowd, without Malachi to keep him
straight. Elvis is trying hard to remember to the instructions his
care worker gave him, but sometimes he gets confused and forgets
things. Pamela wants to run back to Malachi but her overprotective
father has locked her in and there's no way out. It's a day like
any other, until something extraordinary happens. When the sun
sets, Nightingale Point is irrevocably changed and somehow, through
the darkness, the residents must find a way back to lightness, and
back to each other. * * * * * Readers love Nightingale Point: 'A
beautiful and heartbreaking story about working-class people and
their lives both before and after tragedy' 'I couldn't put it
down...a beautiful story of staying strong when it matters most' 'A
triumphant debut...This book pops, fizzes and sparkles to life' 'A
must read masterpiece'
