Day for Night: A Novel

A character in this novel claims that if you examine the history of anything closely enough, you will find connections that don't actually exist. The narrative seems designed to contradict this idea by revealing genuine links between seemingly unrelated people: a middle-aged woman vacationing in Florida, a rock and roll singer visiting his comatose brother in Utah (injured in a motorcycle accident in Israel), and a man working in Israel whose long-lost mother, living in a New Jersey retirement community, recognizes him in a televised report about an Israeli-Palestinian skirmish. Day for Night tells the story of people who are lost or displaced by their own circumstances and history's hardships. Through unexpected and intricate connections, these characters become linked to one another in ways that unfold throughout the novel.
