This book is on the level of some of Stephen King's best work, and the translation comes across perfectly. I love books that are so captivating that I get lost in them, but also are so interesting that I feel compelled to look up historical facts. I didn't know much about Argentine history before this book, but I will be a little better educated now thanks to fiction.

Well that was a mistake. I have what I think are objective critiques about the book, but overall this was definitely a book/reader mismatch. So grim. I can say with certainty that I would not have gotten past 125 pages without the audiobook to speed me along in tandem. The story is compelling, in that you keep reading in the hope things will become better, but it's basically one horrific instance after another. 1/?
[It's gonna be a long one]

Robotswithpersonality 2/? And then there's the more realistic horrors of genocide and dictatorship. There's a strong theme of fraught father-child relationships between Gaspar and Jaun and then Gaspar and Luis, but as dreadful as life was to Juan I hesitate to consider him a father figure considering how much abuse and neglect he put his son through. The pacing did not help, as it seemed to drag to a standstill in the more pedestrian aspects 3mo
Robotswithpersonality 3/? and skip over some fairly important plot development in regards to Juan's fight to hide/free Gaspar. And then there's Rosario who I really had trouble finding sympathetic considering how much power seemed to overtake familial concerns, even if that was contrasted by how powerless her family often made her feel. Most people in this tale are fucked up and stuck. 3mo
Robotswithpersonality 4/? I can see how this could be considered one of those multigenerational family sagas, except, there's not much change to contrast the original circumstances and the subsequent ones.
I can see how it touches on Argentina's history, but it feels so much like an afterthought compared to the stakes suffered by the main characters - it's not that it's unimportant, it's that comparing and contrasting
3mo
See All 12 Comments
Robotswithpersonality 5/? the various levels of misery, torture, sadism, imprisonment between what military dictatorships might have done and what this family did to each other is an exhausting exercise that risks the reader desensitizing or dissociating out of a sense of self preservation.
I can see how this could be a truly gut wrenchingly tragic story if the characters weren't so compromised in their priorities.
3mo
Robotswithpersonality 6/? I'm not one for the morally gray main character, even if I understand the need to empathize with people in impossible situations, those who having been in a cult may not clearly see better options, especially when there's real power, magical, political or financial, as a threat. If Juan and Rosario treated their son less as an afterthought, than the son losing the parents would have landed harder. 3mo
Robotswithpersonality 7/? If Juan's sacrifices for Gaspar weren't so often off page, and his indifference and violence to his son weren't so detailed, I could mourn for what he had to do out of love.
It felt too often like justifying abuse.
Further to the pacing, even at nearly 600 pages, there were a few to many timelines and characters introduced in the space available. I felt like every story line deserved more space than it got.

Even those who are more disposed to morally gray characters, unrelentingly dark circumstances, I'm not sure you'd be satisfied with the plot as it's laid out. 🤷🏼‍♂️
I might be mad about it later, for now I'm just emotionally exhausted.

3.0 Stars • "Our Share of Night" by Mariana Enriquez is a haunting tale that combines elements of horror, supernatural, and historical fiction. Set against the backdrop of Argentina's turbulent past, it follows a father and son, Juan and Gaspar, as they navigate a treacherous journey to escape a powerful and dangerous cult known as the Order. ⬇️

suvata The Order is obsessed with immortality and will stop at nothing to achieve it, even if it means sacrificing innocent lives. As Juan and Gaspar uncover the dark secrets of the cult, they must confront their own inner demons and make difficult choices to protect each other from the evil that pursues them. 3mo

Creepy, overly long at parts.
The first part was uncomfortable, hard to get into. But it sets the stage with the political elements & “the disappeared” When Gaspar‘s friend goes missing it leans into the horror… then for a while it is just a sad coming of age story with a cult & different timelines explaining the Order. towards the end, it focussed back to the original elements & I was enthralled BUT
To me the ending fizzled… but was creepy af.

This was like nothing I've read before. A family saga spiced with horror. History and fiction blended seamlessly. Multi-faceted characters that jump off the page.

It was by no means perfect. There were pacing issues galore and the ending could have used a bit more drama. Still, I'd struggle to name a comparable novel.

I have a feeling this novel will haunt me for years to come.

I just can't.
I've checked this out twice from the library, once because I ran out of time and the second time to pick up where I left off.
I made it 58% through and if I've come this far and STILL don't care, I think that's a sign.
I don't know who is who.
I don't understand their relationships.
And I'm bored.
And I didn't find it particularly scary either.

Traveling to her ancestral home they face her family, called The Order, that commit horrible acts to achieve immortality. Gaspar, the son, is pulled in to their evil but his father will stop at nothing to save his boy. Moving from London in the 60s to Argentinas military dictatorship & its aftermath.

This book is unrelenting. From the first page there‘s a sense of wrongness, early stages of a building claustrophobia & sense of inevitability. There is violence throughout—violence committed against one‘s loved ones (in the name of protecting them), against those who stand in the way, against those who are just in the wrong place. Great writing & a fantastic translation—the pace is slow & there isn‘t a lot of action but there is a lot of horror.

Friend buys this book, tries to read this book, decides about 90 pages in that nothing has happened and she wants to DNF…BUT reviews are glowing and it‘s on many “best of 2023” lists. So, she asks me if I want to read it—yes, of course—and she loans me the book and then asks, once I‘m done, to tell her if she should give it a second chance. I‘ve heard only good things so I‘m about to see if it lives up to the hype.

RaeLovesToRead Nothing happens in the first 90 pages, then the CEREMONIAL. Crap, I was not ready for the ceremonial. Lol. I'm about a fifth of the way in to this book. Enjoying it so far! 11mo
TracyReadsBooks @RaeLovesToRead So what I‘m hearing is that my friend stopped JUST short. Great to hear you are enjoying it—I‘m super intrigued by the ceremonial. I‘m only 20-30 pages in, really just started, but enjoying it so far. 11mo

There‘s a genuine resurgence of brilliant horror at the moment that I‘m all here for.
This is epic, creepy, awesome story telling. Kept me on my toes the whole time, switching POV and genuine plot twists that made you gasp.
Hopefully there will be many more from this author.

Reggie Ok, this is still my favorite book from this year. I loved Adela. I loved that the author planted all these seeds all over the book and had them darkly bloom in the back. The picture taken shown at the art exhibit. The female journalist and how Gaspar‘s gf hears her interview. Just genius!!!! So glad you liked it TrishB! 12mo

This is a portrait of a father and son from revolving perspectives and horror elements set against the backdrop of dictatorship in early 80s #Argentina. Interesting book and rather long, but just as I was starting to tire of one voice, the narrative moves to someone new, which really works. I would for sure look for this author again.

#NetGalley #NewRelease

Enriquez's writing is not for the faint of heart. This is a massive 608 page immersive dark horror that is also a love letter to the bonds between a parent and a child.

The main character is grieving the loss of his wife. As he tries to overcome the literal Darkness that possesses him, he also is in a desperate fight to save his son.

Atmospheric, creepy, emotional, and just a damn good read!

Reggie The whole Adela arc is my favorite thing in here with her haunted house. This is my favorite book so far this year and so glad you liked it. 2y

I will read anything by this author. This might be her first novel, or the first that made it to an English translation. It's pretty epic. Set in Argentina it tells the story of a family that is wrapped up in dark magic and a father that desperately wants to save his son from his own fate. I'm predicting International Booker longlist for it.

Spanning Argentina‘s Dirty War in the 1970s to the AIDS epidemic in the 1990s, Our Share of Night tells the story of the Order, a secret society of occultists, and of Juan, a father that will do anything to protect his son from them. Not everyone will like this book. It is horror. Bad things happen. The characters are unpleasant. It is over 700 pages. But, I really liked this book and can‘t stop thinking about it. #NetGalley #OurShareOfNight
