A mesmerizing novel of four generations of Southwestern women bound to a mythical legacy

With its family secrets and hallowed texts containing explosive truths, The Night Journal suggests A. S. Byatt’s Possession transplanted to the raw and beautiful landscape of the American Southwest. Meg Mabry has spent her life oppressed by her family’s legacy—a heritage beginning with the journals written by her great-grandmother in the 1890s and solidified by her grandmother Bassie, a famous historian who published them to great acclaim. Until now, Meg has stubbornly refused to read the journals. But when she concedes to accompany the elderly and vipertongued Bassie on a return trip to the fabled land of her childhood in New Mexico, Meg finally succumbs to the allure of her great-grandmother’s story—and soon everything she believed about her family is turned upside down.

Review:
". . . You'll whisper the traditional reader's self-promise of "only one more chapter" again and again,...on into the early morning hours." -- --Ft. Worth Star-Telegram, 3-12-2006

"Ms. Crook's prose is elegant, and her novel is a page-turner.... When I finished, I wished there were more." -- --Tom Pilkington, The Dallas Morning News, 2-19-06

"...full of plot twists and turns, mysteries, and unexpected developments...a book about history, land and people." -- Rita Giordano, Philadelphia Inquirer, 2-26-06

"...richly rendered... page-turning, late 20th-century mystery... with the satisfying level of clarity, imagination and historical authenticity such a story demands." -- --Gussie Fauntleroy, The Santa Fe New Mexican, 3-5-06

Bracing as desert night air. A vividly imagined and emotionally unsparing account of lives both damaged and redeemed by love. -- Geraldine Brooks, author of Year of Wonders and March

Rich and beguiling. The gradual revelation of characters' dreams and fears makes their story as moving as it is suspenseful. -- Julia Glass, author of Three Junes

Warmly drawn....A multilayered narrative of impressive historical perspicacity, enriched by the author’s loving attention to character." -- Kirkus Reviews

Sumptuous, surprise-filled . . . The Night Journal is near perfect, a beautifully restrained epic with nary a wasted word. (Texas Monthly)

Crook has a clear gift for detail and dialogue. . . . [T]here s plenty to keep you engaged and engrossed in The Night Journal. (The Philadelphia Inquirer)
