In Love With Night is a tender story of love, loss, and resilience set in New Orleans during the American Civil War period. After her husband dies at Vicksburg, a lonely widow does her best to carry on with her melancholy daughter. Their lives eventually intersect for the better with a soldier seriously wounded in an assassination attempt on Yankee General Benjamin Butler. Nursed back to health by a remarkable young woman, a former slave highly skilled in arcane healing arts, the soldier mysteriously disappears in the midst of an audacious plan to return her kindness. And so it falls to Henry Addison to navigate the labyrinths of post-war New Orleans to solve the mystery. With its unforgettable cast of vivid characters, In Love With Night invites readers to feel and think deeply about the ties that bind us together and make life worth living.
