***A SPECTATOR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR 2021*** "An intriguing,
memorable book." The Times "Like a Kafka story and a Wes Anderson
movie combined." Literary Hub "Terrifying, comic and
heart-breaking."-Sigrid Nunez "This beautifully written and
wonderfully droll novel brilliantly captures the frustrations and
unease of being in a foreign environment."-The Spectator "Full of
foreboding, What Happens At Night draws the reader on without
questioning. A rich experience." Literary Review A couple travel to
a strange, snowy European city to adopt a baby, who they hope will
resurrect their failing marriage. Their difficult journey leaves
the wife desperately weak, and her husband worries that her
apparent illness will prevent the orphanage from releasing their
child. The couple check into the cavernous and eerily deserted
Borgarfjaroasysla Grand Imperial Hotel where they are both helped
and hampered by the people they encounter: an ancient, flamboyant
chanteuse, a debauched businessman, an enigmatic faith healer, and
a stoical bartender who dispenses an addictive, lichen-flavoured
schnapps. Nothing is as it seems in this baffling, frozen world,
and the longer the couple endure the punishing cold the less they
seem to know about their marriage, themselves, and even life
itself.
