""I greatly admire Nadia Terranova's latest novel, The Night Trembles—for how it is constructed and for its human depth, how the darkness coexists with generosity. It is quite simply magnificent."" —Annie Ernaux ""The Night Trembles is a haunting novel of metamorphosis and resilience. Terranova's intermingling of two unforgettable characters against a backdrop of devastation feels like fine lacework: a narrative pattern held together with masterful control. Terranova has inherited the sensibility of powerful female voices that came before her, and has by now established herself as one of Italy's most exciting writers. We are fortunate to have her exquisitely translated into English by one of America's most accomplished translators.""—Jhumpa Lahiri, winner of the 2000 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction
