The End of Nightwork

Aidan Cottrell-Boyce

The story of a family falling apart and trying to save itself that tackles some of the most urgent issues of our time with intelligence and a deadpan, mischievous wit.

Pol suffers from a rare hormonal disorder that ages him erratically. With his condition dormant, Pol and his wife Caroline are happy enough, even if his obsessive interest in the writings of an obscure seventeenth-century Puritan prophet have put a strain on their marriage.

But the advent of political conflict on the streets and Pol’s dormant condition threatening to resurface put both the safety and happiness of his family on the line.
