Narrative Conducive To Books Day for Night

As a child, Beverly Rabinowitz fled Europe with her mother during World War II. Almost half a century later, while vacationing in Florida with her boyfriend and his son, a chance encounter leads to a strangely lucid moment in which she senses that her father, long believed to have been killed during the war, is close by. It’s the first of many seemingly random events that are guiding Beverly, and the people in her life, toward a startling discovery.

Over the course of Frederick Reiken’s provocative, intricate novel, Beverly will learn that her story is part of something larger, and brilliantly surprising. Because her story is not hers alone, but also that of a comatose teenage boy in Utah, an elusive sixties-era fugitive, an FBI agent pursuing a twenty-year obsession, a Massachusetts veterinarian who falls in love on a kibbutz in Israel, and a host of other characters. Day For Night illuminates how disparate, far-flung people can be connected, and how the truth of those bonds can upend entire lives. Each chapter is a small universe of its own, and together they form a dazzling whole.

Gliding effortlessly across time and space, in settings that range from Florida to New Jersey to the Caribbean and the Dead Sea, Day For Night builds toward moments of revelation, when refugees from their own lives, or from history’s cruelties, come together in unpredictable and extraordinary ways.

I really enjoyed it until about two-thirds of the way through when I reached my capacity for meeting new characters who didn't seem to fit into the narrative. Of course they did eventually fit into the puzzle, but it was work to keep track, and I sometimes lost track. (This coming from someone who likes Russian novels!)

This was an atypical read, unlike most novels, there is no main protagonist in this book, except for a single cord that binds the disparate characters together. Reiken has a remarkable way of weaving the two tales together such that they collide in the most poignant manner. A worthwhile read if the readers can accept a fair level of ambiguity stemming from the loose ends.Perhaps an apt quote found towards the end of the novel '..certain pieces will not fit, not now or ever, and that you must

I will always cherish this book for personal reasons. It is a thing of wonder. I didnt love every scene, and there are some dark Plutonian themes in a few places. Under normal circumstances, not often in the mood for facing the worst shadows in our humanity, I might have put the book down but Im glad I didnt. Its well balanced and beautiful.

I couldn't put it down. There's a Readers' Guide at the end, and I haven't actually read that yet, so I'll save my longer review for later... but for now, just WOW.

This isn't a standard novel, nor a series of short stories. Yet each long chapter has is it's own story and, which connects to the others. It may take a few pages to figure out who is now speaking and how that person connects to the what came before, but that doesn't distract too much from the overall book. I liked the structure and the writing was good. I also enjoyed the subtle mystery throughout, a suggestion of something more. What I didn't like is some of that was left open and not

This book was really wierd. From a literary standpoint you could say it is creative and in parts really well written, but I never quite figured out the "point" of the book. The book is 326 pages broken down into ten chapters. Each chapter is from the viewpoint of a different character in the book, which in some ways is interesting, but frustrating in others. In each chapter it took a while into each chapter to figure out who, exactly, is narrating this time as the author never comes out and says

This book was very, very okay - which is too bad because I really wanted it to be good.Each chapter represents the story of a different person's life that just happens to be interconnected to the life of one of the previous characters, and by the end they all are connected. This writing convention has become increasingly common since the movie Crash, and is therefore becoming increasingly hard to use well. And this book falls short, by a lot. It's not at all subtle and not at all surprising, and
