Description

Laura Krughoff's stories are infused with a lyrical exuberance reminiscent of Grace Paley. Spanning a century, these six stories follow rural American women as they navigate the constraints of womanhood and strive to find their voice.

From marriages in the 1930s to a young girl's dance to Thriller for her friend's older brother, each narrator is given space to explore the complexities of identity and expectation. By employing unconventional forms, Krughoff creates a world of stunning detail that examines the consequences of stifling truth.

Through these stories, we are reminded of the importance of pushing beyond easy categories and finding new ways of understanding the roles we play. A powerful exploration of womanhood and its many facets, Wake in the Night is a thought-provoking collection that will linger long after the final page is turned.
