Francis Croft, the greatest poet of his age, was mad. His world was a nightmare of internal furies and haunting poetic vision. Harvey Lawson watched and protected him until his final suicide. From his solitary old age Harvey writes this brief account of their 20 years together and then burns all the papers to shut out an inquisitive world. The tautness and control that characterize Susan Hill's work are abundantly evident in The Bird of Night as she magnificently handles the heights and depths, the splendours and miseries of madness and friendship.

revisiting an old favourite

There are some books which resonate forever - I read Bird of Night, and almost all Susan Hill's other work, when first published and have never forgotten either the reality of living with a man so haunted as Francis nor the Aldeburgh setting. (I made my first visit there after reading this book.) I'm re-reading it as a book group choice (mine) and surprisingly it hasn't dated. Susan Hill is a brilliant writer, especially when creatng characters beyond her experience (a mad homosexual poet, the soldiers in Strange Meeting, etc.) Her sense of place and of desolate emotions is superb.

I'm a real lover of Susan Hills work, mainly reading her ghost stories, however this book blew me away, how subtly she weaves human relationships. Read it, you don't be disappointed
