Synopsis

A powerfully original novel of modern love by the author of Call Me By Your Name.

A man in his late twenties goes to a large Christmas party in Manhattan where a woman introduces herself with three words: 'I am Clara.' Over the following seven days, they meet every evening in the snowy city. Overwhelmed yet cautious, he treads softly and won't hazard a move. But as they move closer together, this amorous dance builds towards a New Year's Eve charged with magic, the promise of renewal and love.

About this title

Review:

'Perfect... [Aciman] explore[s] with enthralling intensity the behaviour of a couple falling in love... Intricate, intimate, and often funny... the dialogue and behaviour are so precisely rendered... Aciman writes in beautiful malleable prose.' -- John de Falbe, Spectator

'Sensuous... Ambitious... Eight White Nights envelopes the reader in its wintry spell.' --New York Times

'Moody, intense, atmosphere-laden... readers will take this novel to their hearts... It has a visceral passion for life and truth... It is the festive, wintry setting, and this enchanted, shimmering time of year, that give this novel much of its power... beautiful.' --Rosemary Goring, Sunday Herald
