Night Hilary Mantel But how did a 3-year-old

But how did a 3-year-old come to be alone on the dark streets at such a late hour

Night Hilary Mantel But how did a 3-year-oldEdna O'Brien's classic novel NIGHT takes us through one long, sleepless night with Mary Hooligan. From the center of her bed, "a four poster no less," Mary recalls her fertile past, from her childhood in the Irish countryside to the love affairs she has confronted since leaving for English shores.
