Synopsis

'The question the story caused me to ponder more than any other was that of what it takes to find a thing that's hidden, a thing that lurks within whatever it is you're staring at each day. Perhaps the meaning of the story is that you must look deep rather than far if you want to unlock any of the secrets of the universe, that once unlocked a secret loses its power unless a part of it is withheld.' From Florida to Salt Lake City to New Jersey to the Dead Sea, amidst page-turning drama and mystery, Frederick Reiken's wondrous and exquisite novel glides effortlessly across time and space in search of one family's unresolved past.

Media Reviews
'From the dazzling opening chapter of Day For Night, Frederick Reiken makes clear that the stakes for his characters, and for his readers, are nothing less than everything. Here is a world, our world, in which no-one gets to escape the net of history and no-one, finally, gets to deny their human connections. I held my breath while I watched Reiken assemble his own extraordinary minyan' Margot Livesey, author of The House on Fortune Street 'A great read. Each chapter gives you an intriguing tale with a character that appeared incidentally in the previous one. This 'chain letter' style story has you gripped' Patrick Neale Booksellers' Choice in The Bookseller 'A captivating narrative of interlocking stories, DAY FOR NIGHT bulids into one mind-blowing novel ... A remarkable achievement' Ruth Hunter, Booksellers' Choice in The Bookseller 'Day For Night does what really good books so often do by forcing us to see the familiar world in new ways that reveal its wonder. It's a nifty trick that not every writer can pull off. Frederick Reiken can and does' Richard Russo, author of That Old Cape Magic 'Day for Night is beautiful, original, brilliant and swift. A novel that seems to be about everything, everywhere, yet wears its ambitions lightly and keeps hold of a strong, mysterious emotional core. I admired every page of it and can't wait to read it again' Kevin Canty, author of Where the Money Went 'Brilliant plotting, haunting characters and an elegiac tone distinguish this dazzling novel... contemporary fiction at its best?accessible, breathtaking and heartbreaking' Kirkus starred review
