*Dream Book Post Alert* Gracias @joshsm_th @FaberBooks for bringing me the bittersweet joy of a new WILLY VLAUTIN novel. 80 pages into this story of tough love and desperation and my heart is already aching and praying for Lynette’s luck to change… #TheNightAlwaysComes

Jason Vondersmith’s article for the Columbia County Spotlight declares
Vlautin’s new novel shows ‘panic’ of Portland.
Willy Vlautin is not known for happy endings, but there’s something here that defies the downward pull. In the end, Lynette is pure life force: fierce and canny and blazing through a city that no longer has space for her, and it’s all Portland’s loss.
