Synopsis
A boy lies in a coma in Utah, brought home from Israel after a near-death motorcycle accident. A child who escaped certain death in Poland in 1941 swims with manatees in Florida many years later on holiday with her dying partner. An obsessive FBI agent spends twenty years tracking a legendary Sixties-era radical. A veterinarian from Massachusetts attempts to simplify her life by going to live on a kibbutz by the Dead Sea, where she falls in love with the boy on a motorcycle...These are just some of the people whose lives collide in Frederick Reiken's vivid and brilliant exploration of our struggle to understand what the word 'truth' might really mean. DAY FOR NIGHT becomes an extraordinary journey to a post-War netherworld of wonders and strange attractions, of tales miraculous and terrible, where death has a colour and beauty blooms in the darkness.

About the Author
Frederick Reiken lives in the US where he has worked as a reporter and columnist. Currently a member of the writing faculty at Emerson College, he is the author of the novels The Odd Sea and The Lost Legends of New Jersey.
From AudioFile
In the wrong hands, Reiken's complex, innovative novel, which connects 10 characters, could certainly fail, resulting in an audiobook impossible for listeners to follow. Instead, Laural Merlington and George Wilson triumph in their narrations. At the beginning, both Merlington and Wilson assume seemingly straightforward personas. But as the characters and points of view multiply, the listener begins to truly appreciate how talented the narrators are in using pacing, inflection, and accents to thoroughly transform themselves. And that transformation is the key to Reiken's novel, which combines narratives across space and time to unlock the Holocaust mystery at the heart of the story. Merlington and Wilson expertly unravel that mystery through their consistently nuanced characters. M.O. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
