Set in Argentina during the night of the Generals (the 1980s), "The Story of the Night" follows a young man as he comes to terms with the loss of his parents (a British mother and an Argentinian father), the acceptance of his homosexuality, and his involvement in international politics and finance. It's also one of the most poignant and beautifully realized love stories I've read in a very long time. This is a brilliant, multi-layered novel, rich in mystery, history and political detail.
