In this literary fiction, Oates masterfully dissects the top echelons of society, exposing the crime and class warfare that often lurks beneath the surface. The profound exploration of life and its complexities makes Night. Sleep. Death. The Stars. a compelling read. For fans of Ian Mcewan (Lessons), Hernan Diaz (Trust), Maggie O'Farrell (Hamnet), Elizabeth Strout (Lucy by the Sea), and Barbara Kingsolver (Demon Copperhead).
