Summary

Between looking after her brother, working two low-paid jobs and trying to take part-time college classes, Lynette is dangerously tired. Every penny she's earned for years, she's put into savings, trying to scrape together enough to take out a mortgage on the house she rents with her mother. 

Finally becoming a homeowner in their rapidly gentrifying Portland neighbourhood could offer Lynette the kind of freedoms she's never had. But, when the plan is derailed, Lynette must embark on a desperate odyssey of hope and anguish.

Critic reviews

"Willy Vlautin's The Night Always Comes is a tear-struck revelation - both epic and timely, intimate and clear-eyed." (Megan Abbott)

"Remarkable, real and tender, The Night Always Comes is a story of America, of the disenfranchised and the still hopeful, of a world littered with artifacts and so little opportunity." (Rene Denfeld, author of The Child Finder)

Spectacular

I loved this book.
Willy Vlautin is my favourite author. His stories are always relatable and you feel so invested I. The world he creates.
Christine Lakin was incredible. I loved her narration and how she again, breathed life into these characters.
I know I’ll be listening to this book again and again.
