Description
On a warm suburban night, the sound of lawn sprinklers is drowned out by the rumble of hot rods. Suddenly, a car careens onto a family's neat front yard, teenage boys spill out brandishing chains and leather, and a young man cries out for the girl he loves.
Tonight, fathers will pick up snow shovels and rakes to defend their turf, and children will witness a battle fuelled by fierce, true love. This is the night they will talk about and remember as the moment things changed for ever.

Reviews
-
'A stunning work'
Sunday Times
-
'A wonderfully unfettered, ample novel. One that celebrates voice, personality and feeling when so much fiction avoids those rewarding characteristics'
New York Times Book Review
-
'That Night has universal appeal ... there is a depth of feeling here which is beautifully - and seriously - realised'
Independent
-
'The author's perceptions of suburban life have a rich detail of the quality of a Cheever or an Updike'
Los Angeles Times
