What Night Brings
Carla Trujillo
ISBN 0-906500-80-X
This prize winning novel is gripping and often very funny.
Ms Trujillo has also written short stories and edited latino lesbian journals.
"Marci is 11, a tough little girl in a hard world. Being a good Catholic she prays every night - prays that her dad will disappear and that somehow she'll turn into a boy. Daily checking under the covers proves disappointing but Marci's needs are quite clear and simple and with childish logic she sets about the first of her wishes - the banishment of Eddie, her brutal father.
It's a nice old-fashioned (in the best sense of the word) coming of age story with a happy ending."
Carole Laing, GCN [Gay Community News], Ireland
