Award-winning author Willy Vlautin explores the impact of trickle-down greed and opportunism of gentrification on ordinary lives in this scorching story that captures the plight of a young woman pushed to the edge as she fights to secure a stable future for herself and her family.
Between looking after her brother, working two low-paid jobs and trying to take part-time college classes, Lynette is dangerously tired. Every penny she’s earned for years, she’s put into savings, trying to scrape together enough to take out a mortgage on the house she rents with her mother.
Finally becoming a homeowner in their rapidly gentrifying Portland neighbourhood could offer Lynette the kind of freedoms she’s never had. But, when the plan is derailed, Lynette must embark on a desperate odyssey of hope and anguish.
Written with all Willy Vlautin’s characteristic and heart-wrenching empathy, The Night Always Comes holds up a mirror to a society that leaves too many people only a step away from falling between the cracks.
'Willy Vlautin's The Night Always Comes is a tear-struck revelation – both epic and timely, intimate and clear-eyed.'
Megan Abbott
'Remarkable, real and tender, The Night Always Comes is a story of America, of the disenfranchised and the still hopeful, of a world littered with artifacts and so little opportunity.'
Rene Denfeld, author of The Child Finder
