How
is tonight different from all other nights? For Jacob Rappaport, a
Jewish soldier in the Union army during the Civil War, it is a question
his commanders have already answered for him -- on Passover, 1862, he is
ordered to murder his own uncle in New Orleans, who is plotting to
assassinate President Lincoln. After this harrowing mission, Jacob is
recruited to pursue another enemy agent, the daughter of a Virginia
family friend. But this time, his assignment isn’t to murder the spy,
but to marry her. Their marriage, with its riveting and horrifying
consequences, reveals the deep divisions that still haunt American life
today.
Based
on real personalities like Judah Benjamin, the Confederacy’s Jewish
Secretary of State and spymaster, and on historical facts and events
ranging from an African-American spy network to the dramatic
self-destruction of the city of
Richmond, All Other Nights is a gripping and suspenseful story of
men and women driven to the extreme limits of loyalty and betrayal. It is
also a brilliant parable of the rift in America
that lingers a century and a half later: between those who value family
and tradition first, and those dedicated, at any cost, to social and
racial justice for all.
In
this eagerly-awaited third novel, award-winning author Dara Horn brings us
page-turning storytelling at its best. Layered with meaning, All Other
Nights presents the most American of subjects with originality and
insight -- and the possibility of reconciliation that might yet await us.
