Into the Unbounded Night
by Mitchell James Kaplan
Description
"Truly a major novel" -- Stephanie Cowell, American Book Award recipient, author of Claude And Camille: A Novel Of Monet
INTO THE UNBOUNDED NIGHT, the epic-yet-intimate literary historical thriller from award-winning author Mitchell James Kaplan, follows the lives of five troubled individuals as they struggle for survival and purpose in the first century Roman empire:
Aislin, a refugee in Rome, seeks revenge for the destruction of her village in Britannia. Other important characters, who affect her destiny, include the ambitious general Vespasian, Saul of Tarsus (St. Paul), the rabbi Yohanan ben Zakkai, and Azazel, a doomed angel.
Throughout INTO THE UNBOUNDED NIGHT, these characters' lives intertwine in unexpected ways that shed light on colonization and its discontents, the relative values of dominant and tyrannized cultures, the sense of imminent apocalypse, and the holiness of life.
If you love "Circe" and "All the Light We Cannot See," don't miss INTO THE UNBOUNDED NIGHT.

"Into the Unbounded Night is a historical thriller set during the Roman first century and tells of young Aislin, who becomes a homeless orphan when a Roman general sacks her village in Britannia. Most stories would end here, but Mitchell James Kaplan doesn't let his young protagonist die on the vine. Into the Unbounded Night…is an outstanding piece that cements action and intrigue with a sense of place, purpose, and perspective" —Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review
"In Into the Unbounded Night, Mitchell James Kaplan offers a rich rendering of war and humanity in first century Rome -- of tradition and loss, and the
transformative power of healing and collective memory to find one's way
home."
- Nichole Bernier, Boston Globe bestselling author of The Unfinished Work Of Elizabeth D

"Mitchell James Kaplan is the gloriously talented writer of this dramatic, intense story of conflicting emperors, slaves, priests and exiles in a first
century world whose roots and traditions are increasingly torn apart by the brutal rule of Rome... A writer of enormous scope, compassion and poetry, Kaplan has written several of the most compelling characters you will meet in the pages of a book. Into the Unbounded Night sweeps over you like a succession of huge waves. It is truly a major novel."
- Stephanie Cowell, American Book Award recipient, author of Claude and Camille: A Novel Of Monet
"Kaplan's prose is so rich and agile I felt I was breathing the air of these ancient places, and his evocation of character is no less palpable."
- Marisa de los Santos, New York Times bestselling novelist of I'll Be Your Blue Sky and award-winning poet
"I'm a big fan of historical fiction when it's as good as Mitchell James Kaplan's Into the Unbounded Night. Vividly imagined, Into the Unbounded Night pulls the reader along with beautiful prose, strong characters and a wonderfully
realized story."
- Heidi W. Durrow, New York Times best-selling author of The Girl Who Fell From The Sky, winner of the PEN/Bellwether Prize
"A beautiful, informative book. It was gripping throughout, the research never overwhelms the story, but is always part of it. [The] writing is lyrical and evocative of time and place."
- Martin Fletcher, National Jewish Book Award winner, author of Promised Land
"From the mystical lore of Albion to the Roman siege and destruction of Jerusalem, Kaplan's meticulous research and evocative writing meld seamlessly to create a vivid, textured, and richly imagined story."
- Beth Hoffman, New York Times and International bestselling author of Saving Ceecee Honeycutt and Looking for Me
'Kaplan weaves an intricate literary tapestry to create a poetic exploration of early Judeo-Christian and Roman history. He builds a diverse yet connected cast of characters whose encounters inspire timeless self-examination and
advance the course of history. An engrossing work not easily forgotten."
- Therese Walsh, critically acclaimed author of The Last Will Of Moira Leahy and The Moon Sisters, founder of the literary blog, Writer Unboxed
