The Night Always Comes
Set over two days and nights, The Night Always Comes holds up a mirror to a society which leaves too many people only a step away from ruin.
Between looking after her brother and the combination of jobs she's trying to juggle, Lynette is dangerously tired. And when, after years of trying to scrape together enough for a mortgage, her plan is derailed, she must embark on a desperate odyssey through a city of greed.
'A masterclass … Relatable, terrifying, impassioned and compassionate.' - Ivy Pochoda
