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. Tóibín 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
