The Other Side of Night
ByPublisher Description
For fans of Matt Haig, Anthony Horowitz, and David Mitchell, a “strange, compelling” (John Connolly) genre-bending literary thriller that blends mystery, philosophy, and time-bending suspense in a story of love, loss, and second chances.
The Other Side of Night begins with a man named David Asha writing about his biggest regret: his sudden separation from his son, Elliot. In his grief, David tells a story.
Next, we step into the life of Harriet Kealty, a police officer trying to clear her name after a lapse of judgment. She discovers a curious inscription in a secondhand book—a plea: Help me, he’s trying to kill me. Who wrote this note? Who is “he”?
This note leads Harri to David Asha, who was last seen stepping off a cliff. Police suspect he couldn’t cope after his wife’s sudden death. Still, why would this man jump and leave behind his young son? Quickly, Harri’s attention zeroes in on a person she knows all too well.
Ben Elmys: once the love of her life. A surrogate father to Elliot Asha and trusted friend to the Ashas.
Ben may also be a murderer.
Compulsively readable and thought-provoking, “The Other Side of Night is one of those rare books that you’ll still be thinking about long after the last page” (Jenny Blackhurst, author of How I Lost You).

“3.25 I’d say
I feel like the book would have benefitted from more editing. Some parts really dragged on [Also minor note that a person can be Arab, while the language is Arabic] — Though not enough to stop me from reading the book
Harri being so obsessed with a man and being in love, like I get it.. but I also don’t, I wish there was less of that (Or more of them together for us to feel why she was yearning so much)
I really don’t like science-y stuff like that but the book does leave you thinking and sad for the MCs”
