Audiolibro It Would Be Night in Caracas

An urgent literary phenomenon sold in over 22 languages before publication, a gripping tale of one woman's desperate battle to survive the dangerous, sometimes deadly, turbulence of modern Venezuela.

In Caracas, Venezuela, Adelaida Falcon stands over an open grave. Alone, except for harried undertakers, she buries her mother the only family Adelaida has ever known.

Numb with grief, Adelaida returns to the apartment they shared. Outside her window tear gas rains down on protesters in the streets. When looters masquerading as revolutionaries take over her apartment, Adelaida resists and is beaten up. This marks the beginning of a fight for survival in a country that has disintegrated into violence and anarchy, where citizens are increasingly pitted against each other.

From a powerful, new voice, It Would Be Night in Caracas is a chilling reminder of how quickly the world we know can crumble.

Adelaida's life in the city is turned upside down as she fights her own war against the military forces. This top-rated fiction provides a raw and unfiltered look into the life of a Hispanic woman in a crumbling society.

For fans of María Dueñas (A Vineyard in Andalusia), Brit Bennett (The Vanishing Half), Maaza Mengiste (Beneath the Lion's Gaze), William Boyd (Trio), and Katie Kitamura (Intimacies).
