Richard Garay lives alone with his mother, hiding his sexuality from her and from those around him. Set in Argentina in a time of great change, The Story of the Night is a powerful and moving novel about a man who, as the Falklands War is fought and lost, finds his own way to emerge into the world. Stifled by a job he despises, he finds himself willing to take considerable risks.
