In Caracas, Venezuela, Adelaida Falcon stands over an open grave. Alone, except for harried undertakers, she buries her mother – the only family Adelaida has ever known.             Numb with grief, Adelaida returns to the apartment they shared. Outside her window tear gas rains down on protesters in the streets. When looters masquerading as revolutionaries take over her apartment, Adelaida resists and is beaten up. This marks the beginning of a fight for survival in a country that has disintegrated into violence and anarchy, where citizens are increasingly pitted against each other.             From a powerful, new voice, It Would Be Night in Caracas is a chilling reminder of how quickly the world we know can crumble.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49519379513617,"sku":"GOR010158311","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49643713265937,"sku":"GOR011391991","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49727561072913,"sku":"NGR9780008359911","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50865776623889,"sku":"GOR010449538","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53021966631185,"sku":"NLS9780008359911","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0008359911.jpg?v=1751194346"},{"product_id":"cai-a-noite-em-caracas-book-karina-sainz-borgo-9789896657345","title":"Cai A Noite Em Caracas","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49590387343633,"sku":"GOR012834048","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9896657343.jpg?v=1750775989"},{"product_id":"la-hija-de-la-espanola-it-would-be-night-in-caracas-book-karina-sainz-borgo-9788426406941","title":"La La hija de la española \/ It Would Be Night in Caracas","description":"\u003cb\u003eEl libro que ha inspirado la película de Netflix \u003ci\u003eAún es de noche en Caracas\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Ganadora del Premio Grand Prix Madame Figaro a Novela Extranjera.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e SE PUEDE PERDER TODO.

With spare intensity, Borgo creates a haunting first-person narrative, that bears witness to the dystopian lawlessness that has descended upon a once harmonious nation and its people. Gaining attention around the world, with publication set in more than 23 countries, the penetrating novel introduces an essential female voice to the rich chorus of Latin American literature. This is a story with a universal vocation--the subject of loss, survival and the fault of the survivor.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The day Adelaida Falcón buries her mother is like any other in the capital city--marked by revolutionary violence, economic deprivation, and an abiding sense of fear. Adelaida, who waged the best battle she could for her mother, procuring black market chemotherapy medications and shielding the dying woman from the worst daily realities, is now all but alone in the world. In the apartment she shared with her mother for more than thirty years, Adelaida mitigates her grief by reflecting on the more pleasant days of childhood, when life was normal and she and her mother were an inseparable duo that did not need the rest of the world''s approval or help. But, in the streets outside the apartment, violence is a constant, and even duct tape around the windows cannot keep the nausea-inducing smell of tear gas from permeating every room.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Like everyone in Caracas, Adelaida''s daily attentions are inordinately focused on procuring the basics of survival, all heavily rationed and, when available at all, exorbitantly priced in the inflationary nightmare the national economy has become. One day, she returns home to find the locks on her apartment changed. A group of looters and black marketeers has taken over her home and she is powerless to defend what is rightfully hers. When she discovers that her neighbor, Aurora Peralta, lies dead in the apartment next door, Adelaida furtively disposes of the body and takes refuge there. But she is soon not alone, taking a great risk sheltering a friend''s brother, who has escaped his forced conscription by the insurgents.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Adelaida will come to learn that Aurora was a dual citizen of Venezuela and Spain, and had begun the process of emigrating back to Europe before she died. Adelaida realizes her chance of survival may rest in masquerading as the dead woman, but with the conflagration flaring ever nearer, the perilous plan to assume Aurora''s identity grows more complicated by the hour. And despite the city''s current horrors, the possibility of leaving behind her once-beloved Caracas, and all the memories it holds, comes at a heavy emotional costs as well.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Drawing on a combination of some of the author''s own experiences before leaving her homeland for Madrid and news reports, \u003cb\u003eIT WOULD BE NIGHT IN CARACAS\u003c\/b\u003e is an urgent work of fiction that illuminates a real national crisis within the framework of an impossible-to-put-down literary narrative.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49628082536721,"sku":"GOR010901789","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49942476030225,"sku":"CIN8426406947A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50085591187729,"sku":"CIN8426406947VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50117135532305,"sku":"CIN8426406947G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52153282593041,"sku":"NIN9788426406941","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8426406947.jpg?v=1751222689"},{"product_id":"it-would-be-night-in-caracas-book-karina-sainz-borgo-9780062936868","title":"It Would Be Night In Caracas","description":"As seen in the New York Times Book Review   Told with gripping intensity, It Would be Night in Caracas chronicles one woman’s desperate battle to survive amid the dangerous, sometimes deadly, turbulence of modern Venezuela and the lengths she must go to secure her future.  \"Echoes of Borges in a novel of war-torn Venezuela . . . the writing is tense and complex . . . dynamic.\" -The New York Times  In Caracas, Venezuela, Adelaida Falcón stands over an open grave.
