Synopsis
Selected as a Book of the Year 2016 by the Spectator
'It began with a spark.'
A house is burning. Its six tenants include a failed priest, a naturalist, a neurosurgeon and an invalid dreaming of his anxious boyhood. Their landlord’s relationship to them is both intimate and shadowy. At times he shares their preoccupations and memories. He will also share their fate.
In Night of Fire the passions and obsessions of these unquiet lives reach beyond the dying house that holds them. Ranging from an African refugee camp to the cremation-grounds of India, their memories mutate and criss-cross in a novel of lingering beauty and mystery.

Review
"Thubron returns with what might be his masterpiece... Thubron’s prose shines a penetrating light on the nature of memory and being human. Sublime." (Simon Humphreys Mail on Sunday)
"Intensely moving" (Tim Martin Sunday Telegraph)
"An engrossing, unsettling and brutally beautiful masterpiece." (John Harding Daily Mail)
"Each life story...is told with all this writer’s irresistible narrative gift" (Ursula K. Le Guin Guardian)
"Medicine owes an equal debt of gratitude to him for evoking a journey through the brain with the same adventurous and beguiled spirit as he might a rainforest or ancient city... With the ease of a master craftsman he makes up new words...lovingly evokes the extraordinary places he has passed through... This outstanding novel confirms that there is nowhere Thubron fears to tread." (Melissa Katsoulis The Times)
