“By night, we’re all the same color.”

The Night Travelers is a gorgeous historical fiction book that focuses on four women in four different time periods and countries. The Night Travelers deals with 1930s Berlin, 1945–WWII, 1950s Cuba during their own revolution, and then 1970s —- Correa’s writing was absolutely amazing, immersive and even though we were jumping around to different time periods and countries—the storyline was easy to keep track of. Liliths storyline was one I connected to the most, at the beginning we see her as a young seven year old girl and we continue to follow her throughout her whole life. This multigenerational story makes us ask the question: do our ancestors contribute to who we are as people? 

I discussed this book with my bookclub and we loved loved loved it! Will definitely be picking up more Correa’s books in the future.
