WE GO AROUND IN THE NIGHT AND ARE CONSUMED BY FIRE
Book ID/图书代码： 09580015B86383
English Summary/英文概要： Best friends since they met as children in care, Donna and Carla run the allfemale Bronte Close Gang, carving out their own empire in the toughest streets of Manchester. Unlike the hot-headed men who make up most of the city’s gangs, frequently caught up in violent turf warfare, the women keep their heads down running their business their way: partying on Canal Street, selling drugs in perfume atomisers in club toilets, and working as cleaners to account for their illegal income.
But when Carla is gunned down for seducing the wife of a local gangster, it is left to Donna to keep her ten-year-old daughter, Aurora, out of sight and out of the care system, galvanise the gang and mastermind a killer plan to achieve retribution – all the while reeling at the loss of her soulmate.
An epic of friendship, survival and finding out how far you’d go to avenge and protect those you love, We Go Around In The Night And Are Consumed By Fire is a thrillingly original crime novel that unfolds at breakneck speed – at once furious, tender and heartbreaking.
The title is inspired by graffiti on the Hulme overpass in Manchester, and is a translation of the famous Latin palindrome ‘in girum imus nocte et consumimur igni’.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 发小Donna和Carla是最亲密的朋友，共同管理着一个全是女性成员的黑帮，在艰苦的曼彻斯特街头打造自己的帝国。与城市里大部分头脑发热、经常卷入暴力争斗的男性帮派成员不同，她们低调地运作着自己的生意：街头派对，在俱乐部厕所内贩卖装在香水瓶里的毒品，打扮成清洁工收取非法所得……
当Carla因为引诱当地黑帮的老婆被枪杀之后，只能靠Donna一个人来支撑一切。她必须保护她10岁的女儿Aurora，维持自己的帮派，并策划一场复仇谋杀行动——同时还要承受失去灵魂伴侣的巨大痛苦。
这是一部有关友情、生存，并探讨一个人愿意为了复仇及保护所爱之人付出多少代价的史诗。这部惊悚原创罪案小说情节紧凑，气氛紧张，同时又十分温柔，令人心碎。
小说的题目灵感来自曼彻斯特天桥的涂鸦，翻译自著名的拉丁回文“in girum imus nocte et consumimur igni’”。（LYR）
Awards/获奖情况：这部别具一格的复仇惊悚文学作品，用同性恋帮派成员Donna和她珍爱的教女Aurora的口吻，揭示了曼彻斯特地下犯罪世界的暴力和政治。
