Reviews
A brave and remarkable novel, the impact of which no reader will shed.Dermot Bolger, Sunday Independent
The Story of the Night is, in the end, a love story of the most serious and difficult kind. T óibín has told it with profound artistry and truth.Tobias Wolff
Nobody before Tóibín has made such honesty stand so clearly for political and personal integrity . . . In each of his first three novels he has invented a strong central character but Garay is by far his most memorable.Edmund White, Sunday Times
A remarkable achievement . . . The ease, the fluidity, the economy, the precision of Tóibín’s masterly prose make this novel sheer pleasure to read.Norman Thomas di Giovanni, The Times
