Kirkus Reviews stated that ACROSS THE ENDLESS NIGHT is '"a lyrical family saga steeped in anxiety that explores the risks and rewards of building a life around the ones you love."

In this moving sequel to Letting the House Go, Robert Crooke returns to Richard Morris at the far end of his life. It is 2021, six years after the death of his ex-wife Irene, whose final counsel still guides him. Aging and increasingly fragile, Richard has devoted himself to the tangled, multi-generational family they created together. Surrounded by the unguarded love of his children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews, he is astonished by their generosity of spirit and by the future they imagine for themselves?one that feels both fragile and radiant amid a nation divided. As his health wanes and the world grows more uncertain, Richard reckons with memory, loss, and the limits of time. Familiar readers will recognize his once fierce self-absorption, now softened by hard-won humility. While revisiting the vivid Long Island setting and beloved cast of its predecessor, Across the Endless Night stands fully on its own as a resonant meditation on family, identity, and what we dare to hope will endure.
