The Hours of the Night by Sue Gee

Gillian Traherne and her mother Phoebe lead a remote existence in their grey, stone house on the Welsh borders. Gillian is a loner, an eccentric poet in her thirties, who has a difficult relationship with her very different mother: a well-known and expert gardener. Into their strange and secluded world, described with beautifully observed detail, come strangers from London to disrupt life as Gillian knows it. But with the joy of the love that she is to discover, will also come the pain and suffering of experience and the stark realities of the adult world.
'A delightful and - in the best sense - serious novel' Penelope Fitzgerald 'A memorable achievement' Valerie Grove, Daily Express 'Gee writes with startling freshness' The Times 'A complex story, beautifully told' Mail on Sunday
Sue Gee is an associate lecturer in Writing and Publishing Studies at Middlesex University. She lives in London with her Polish partner and their son.
