From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Martin Dressler comes a stunningly original book set in a Connecticut town over one incredible summer night. ."" A master of a prose that doesn't merely aspire to the condition of music but actually achieves it."" -The Washington Post Book World

The delicious cast of characters includes a band of teenage girls who break into homes and simply leave notes reading ""We Are Your Daughters,"" a young woman who meets a phantom lover on the tree swing in her back yard, a beautiful mannequin who steps down from her department store window, and all the dolls ""no longer believed in,"" left abandoned in the attic, who magically come to life.

With each new book, Steven Millhauser radically stretches not only the limits of fiction but also of his seemingly limitless abilities. Enchanted Night is a remarkable piece of fiction, a compact tale of loneliness and desire that is as hypnotic and rich as the language Millhauser uses to weave it.

Reviews for Enchanted Night: A Novella

Moonlit, entrancing. . . . [Millhauser is] master of a prose that doesn't merely aspire to the condition of music but actually achieves it. --Michael Dirda, The Washington Post Book World Writing in tableaux as concise as magic spells . . . Millhauser is at his poetic best. --Los Angeles Times Lovely . . . a mini-opera. . . . the collective dramas that make up [Enchanted Night] are strikingly aural, visual and emblematic. . . . [Millhauser's] prose remains consistently sensual and rhythmic, alive with color. --Newsday Enchanted Night feels teeming, complete and note perfect. --Chicago Tribune
