Godmother Night

In the spirit of Angela Carter and Jonathan Carroll—but with a truly unique sensibility and an imagination as daring as Philip K. Dick's—Rachel Pollack has created a magnificent modern fairy tale unlike anything you've ever read.

In a contemporary world much unlike our own, two women named Laurie and Jaqe find themselves and each other, only to be separated by Mother Night—a small, elderly woman in extravagant clothes who is, literally, death. She and her five red-haired, leather-clad bikers cruise through the lives of the lovers and their daughter, leaving behind a tale of heartbreak and humor, of loss and joy, of death and life.

Rachel Pollack imbues modern issues with the storytelling magic of fairy tale that makes Godmother Night one of the year's most spectacular literary events. New fans of Pollack will join her legions of admirers to marvel at this magical and powerful novel.
