- An
- urgent
- literary
- phenomenon
- sold
- in
- over
- 22
- languages
- before
- publication,
- a
- gripping
- tale
- of
- one
- woman’s
- desperate
- battle
- to
- survive
- the
- dangerous,
- sometimes
- deadly,
- turbulence
- of
- modern
- Venezuela.In
- Caracas,
- Venezuela,
- Adelaida
- Falcon
- stands
- over
- an
- open
- grave.
- Alone,
- except
- for
- harried
- undertakers,
- she
- buries
- her
- mother
- –
- the
- only
- family
- Adelaida
- has
- ever
- known.Numb
- with
- grief,
- Adelaida
- returns
- to
- the
- apartment
- they
- shared.
- Outside
- her
- window
- tear
- gas
- rains
- down
- on
- protesters
- in
- the
- streets.
- When
- looters
- masquerading
- as
- revolutionaries
- take
- over
- her
- apartment,
- Adelaida
- resists
- and
- is
- beaten
- up.
- This
- marks
- the
- beginning
- of
- a
- fight
- for
- survival
- in
- a
- country
- that
- has
- disintegrated
- into
- violence
- and
- anarchy,
- where
- citizens
- are
- increasingly
- pitted
- against
- each
- other.From
- a
- powerful,
- new
- voice,
- It
- Would
- Be
- Night
- in
- Caracas
- is
- a
- chilling
- reminder
- of
- how
- quickly
- the
- world
- we
- know
- can crumble.
