Knock Knock by Anders Roslund

Knock Knock by Anders Roslund

In Kentucky, back in 1933, Carol's daddy lost his thirteen-year-old daughter in a game of cards. Award-winning author Simon Van Booy's spellbinding novel spans decades as he tells the story of Carol and the people in her life. Incidents intersect and lives unexpectedly change course in this masterfully interwoven story of chance and choice that leads home again to a night blessed with light. What you give in this world, an old man tells his grandson, will be given back to you. Those words illuminate the actions within this unforgettable novel and its connected characters. A young man survives two nearly fatal accidents. A black family saves an orphaned white boy. A pregnant teenager is rescued by the side of the road. An autistic teenager is given his first job. Each incident grows in meaning and power over many decades as we see connections sometimes felt but not always apparent to the people themselves. Everything was moving, observes Samuel (Carol's grandson) in the Kentucky woods. An invisible force that was everywhere, and made everything touch. Told by a master storyteller, Night Came with Many Stars is a rare novel that reveals how wondrous, mysterious, and magically connected life can be--the light Simon Van Booy creates in this novel illuminates our own lives.

Anders Roslund is the founder and former leader of Swedish television's Kulturnyheterna (Culture News). Börge Hellström is a former criminal who now works to help juvenile offenders and drug users get back on their feet.
