A haunting, unsparing novel about beauty, identity, and survival, from “one of Europe’s most exciting writers” (New York Times Book Review).
Gillian has her life entirely under control. Successful, happily married, and working as a television cultural correspondent, her world hinges on the promise of a bright future—until a devastating car crash shatters everything in a single night.
Her husband is killed, and Gillian is left severely disfigured, forced to navigate an existence without the face she has always known. Retreating from her former life into the quiet Swiss mountains, she must confront grief, art, and raw solitude to rebuild an identity from the ground up.
Translated by Michael Hofmann, All Days Are Night a spare, razor-sharp exploration of pain, intimacy, and what remains when everything familiar is stripped away.
