Summary "Nightfall" by Anthony Pryde is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Laura and Bernard Clowes, a couple grappling with the strain of post-war life—specifically, Bernard’s paralysis as a result of his war injuries. Their interactions reveal a complex relationship marked by love, resentment, and the struggle for autonomy against the backdrop of a somewhat oppressive domestic life. The opening of the novel introduces Laura as she prepares tea for her husband, Bernard, in their dark, old-fashioned manor house. Bernard, who is unable to walk and confined to a couch, responds with sarcasm and bitterness, reflecting the emotional weight of his condition. Laura attempts to maintain a semblance of normalcy in their daily routines, but the tension in their relationship is palpable as Bernard oscillates between moments of affection and harshness. The arrival of Bernard's cousin, Lawrence Hyde, hints at a potential shift in dynamics, as Laura's unfulfilled longing for contact and connection begins to surface, setting the stage for conflict and revelations as the story unfolds.
