"The Darkness is a mouth, and it consumes all."
Our first book review for 2024 is Our Share of Night by Mariana Enriquez, a haunting, thrilling novel full of horror, set in Argentina and spanning the decades of brutal military dictatorship (the Dirty War) and its aftermath.
Translated from the Spanish to the English by Megan McDowell, Mariana loosens the tight prose found in her short stories (The Dangers of Smoking in Bed and Things We Lost in the Fire) into a meandering epic of cursed inheritances, broken families, and the sacrifices a father will make to help his son escape the all consuming Darkness.
We at The Pleasure of the Text loved this book, and gave it 4.5 stars! Let us know what you think in the comments.
