Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Discover the uplifting story with a uniquely loveable protagonist, perfect for fans of The List of Suspicious Things, Elizabeth is Missing, and Dear Mrs Bird.

Florence Butterfield has a secret.

She's kept it for 70 years. She's travelled the world, fallen in love, and grown and changed in ways she never could have imagined. But she's never told a soul.

Until one midsummer's night, something happens. Something so terrible and unexpected that it changes everything for Florrie. And perhaps, at last, her long-buried secret will finally see the light of day . . .

Critic Reviews

Our octogenarian heroine’s determination to investigate a violent crime on her doorstep, leads her to reflect on her colourful past of love and loss, in this wonderfully warm and involving page-turner
A wonderful, life-affirming novel, full of surprises, tender of heart, and infused with a spirit as warm and generous as any I have read. It's a gripping literary whodunnit and so much more . . . I adored it.
Full of unforgettable characters, a beguiling mystery with gorgeous prose, The Night in Question completely captured my heart. Florence Butterfield is a woman I will never forget and her story is one that had me in all kinds of tears. A triumph.
It's brilliant
Totally original, this water-colour pretty novel is as surprising as it is inspirational. I loved it!
I found myself catching my breath at the brilliance of the insight and the clever and truthful way Susan Fletcher reveals Florrie’s complicated emotional journey. A novel filled with love and generosity, it is a triumph.
Every word is a jewel. A richly evocative and moving portrait of an unforgettable heroine who will teach you everything you need to know about life and love and loss. The best book I have read for a long time.
A perfect peach of a novel! Bright and beautiful writing, a delicious cast of characters, and a moreish whodunnit plot told with warmth, wit and emotional intelligence. A novel to be devoured!
A novel to treasure. Susan Fletcher's magical prose sparkles, and the story bursts with optimism, compassion, and gratitude. Glorious – in both writing and spirit – it moved me to tears time and time again.
Moving, uplifting and beautifully written
