Our Share of Night<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/a> by Mariana Enriquez, translated from the Spanish by Megan McDowell (Hogarth, February 7)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A young father and son set out on a road trip, devastated by the death of the wife and mother they both loved. United in grief, the pair travel to her ancestral home, where they must confront the terrifying legacy she has bequeathed: a family called the Order that commits unspeakable acts in search of immortality. For Gaspar, the son, this maniacal cult is his destiny. As the Order tries to pull him into their evil, he and his father take flight, attempting to outrun a powerful clan that will do anything to ensure its own survival. But how far will Gaspar\u2019s father go to protect his child? And can anyone escape their fate? Moving back and forth in time, from London in the swinging 1960s to the brutal years of Argentina\u2019s military dictatorship and its turbulent aftermath, Our Share of Night is a novel like no other: a family story, a ghost story, a story of the occult and the supernatural, a book about the complexities of love and longing with queer subplots and themes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Spanish-gothic version of a Patricia Highsmith novel<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon and Katharina spend the winter in Jon\u2019s childhood home on the Cantabrian coast, lonely and bored, ambivalent about their precarious freelance jobs and disconnected in their relationship. Yet the couple\u2019s routine will soon be disturbed when one rainy night, they witness strange lights in the sky over the village. The next morning, ufologists begin to arrive in the village, anxious to make extraterrestrial contact. The morning brings other unexpected guests: Jon\u2019s distant cousin, Markel, and his companion, the silent, alluring Virginia. The visit becomes increasingly uncomfortable as\u2014like the ufologists camped out in view of the house\u2014the strangers stay on and show little sign of planning to leave. Days stretch into weeks, even as the cousins can\u2019t remember ever having met, Virginia\u2019s behavior becomes subtly threatening, and Jon begins doubt that Markel is who he says he . . .  A deliciously tense and darkly humorous novella that explores the border that separates love from routine and offers a twist on theme of \u201cthe other\u201d and how to live with the unknown, The Strangers <\/em>introduces English readers to singular talent.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
