"What makes the achievement special is the way in which warped adolescent yearning is interwoven with a very different and repressed yearning, that of Malcolm's Aunt Fiona (who is) an archetype of inner corrosion and suffering."--Books in Scotland Malcolm's father dies, and the boy drifts into a fantasy world without pain or love. His aunt, meanwhile, has long been imprisoned in her own private rituals of fanaticism and terror. Together, they enter a hell of love perverted into pain and desire.

The narrative is multi stranded. The first two sections are strict third person, from an authorial perspective; thereafter narration is shared between Malcolm and Aunt Fiona. Malcolm’s passages are in the second person, a reflection of his estrangement from the world. Those from Aunt Fiona are in third. Butlin seems fond of second person narration; his earlier novel The Sound Of My Voice employed it throughout, though with the flow and ebb of Malcolm’s detachment it is not adhered to strictly here.
Night Visits is not as compelling as Butlin’s The Sound Of My Voice but is still an insightful study of obsession, loss and coming to terms with grief.
