The night the stars went out

Vassilis Papatheodorou

On the night of January 20, Lena Manier, a student of the Third Lyceum, disappears. Nobody knows why, nobody has understood something, nobody has said anything. This fact catalyzes the days that follow in the relationships of relatives, friends and acquaintances, as everyone wonders about their own role in this disappearance, but above all about the role of others. Nine people, nine narrators trying to justify, to cover up, to accuse. And as time goes on their relationships are tested, they change, they collapse. The novel The Night the Stars Faded is a book with agony and humor, but also a narrative-mirror of those we live with and do not dare to admit.
