"Nightwood" by Djuna Barnes (not Patricia Windsor) is a modernist novel centered on the tumultuous lives of a group of expatriates in Paris during the 1920s. At its heart is the passionate and complicated relationship between Nora and Robin, who navigates love, loss, and identity amid the backdrop of a vibrant and often dark city. The novel delves into themes of sexuality, desire, and the human condition, featuring rich, poetic language that evokes the struggles and yearnings of its characters. As their lives intertwine, the story explores the difficulties of connection and the haunting nature of love. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
