Two women, two guidelines: one deep, amazing day. Meet Ottie Lee Henshaw, a startling, challenging beauty in small-town Indiana. Quick of brain, she navigates a stifling matrimony, a lecherous manager, and, on one day in the summer of 1930, an odyssey across the countryside to see a dark and fearful celebration. Meet Calla Destry, a decided young girl desperate to escape the assault of her town and also to find the lover who has guaranteed her a fresh life. Upon this day the countryside of Jim Crow-era Indiana is no place for either. It really is a world filled by frenzied demagogues and crazed revelers, by marauding vigilantes and grim seafood suppers, by possessed bloodhounds and, finally, by the Ku Klux Klan itself. Reminiscent of the works of Louise Erdrich, Edward P. Jones, and Marilynne Robinson, The Night time Street is the storyplot of two impressive women on the move via an America riven by dread and hatred, and eager to flee the secrets they have gone behind.
