ALL DAYS ARE NIGHT is the story of Gillian, a successful and beautiful woman. Married and working a dream job in television as a presenter and cultural correspondent after years of drama school, Gillian has her life entirely under control, until the night a car crash irrevocably shatters her world. Her husband is killed and her once beautiful face is disfigured. Forced to confront an existence without the face sheand#39;s known for, she must put her life back together and somehow turn her tragedy into a story of new beginnings.With the spare and unadorned prose he is known for, Stamm examines beauty, pain, love, and reawakening--life in its rawest form--with honesty and empathy. (Praise continued)andquot;Stamm is a master of quietly deliberative stories. In Seven Years, as in the best of his work, he puts often simple-seeming characters through extraordinary paces, all the more remarkable given the Carver-like restraint he exercises in his writing.andquot; --Bookforumandquot;With a patient and impressive commitment to realism, this Swiss novel follows the course of a complicated, troubled marriage...Though Stamm pulls off a quietly spectacular plot twist halfway through the book, he never loses sight of the quotidian things that erode or transform relationships over time: an oddly personal disagreement about the merits of and#39;Rain Manand#39;, or the and#39;piles of romance novels, Christian manuals, and Polish magazinesand#39; that crowd a loverand#39;s apartment.andquot; --The New Yorkerandquot;Seven Years is a powerful, enlightening novel about the eternal search for contentment in life, the often fickle nature of love, and the knowledge that in reality, happiness is rarely how we dreamed it would be.andquot; --The Daily Beast
