But with his condition dormant, Pol and his wife Caroline manage to live an ordinary life in Kilburn. They're happy enough, even if having a young child has put something of a strain on their marriage. That and Pol's obsessive interest in the writings of an obscure seventeenth-century Puritan prophet, Bartholomew Playfere, and his premonitions of ecological disaster and the end of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut while Pol is failing to complete his research on Playfere, he encounters a radical new movement that argues that all economic and political events are part of an aeon-long struggle between the old and the young - that the 'hoarist' habit of violence, their need to conquer, has also affected how they treat the planet. The leader of this popular movement predicts an imminent inter-generational conflict - father against son, mother against daughter - that echoes Playfere's own prophecies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst this increasingly fraught backdrop, Pol's dormant condition threatens to resurface - putting both the safety and happiness of his family at risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe End of Nightwork\u003c\/em\u003e by Aidan Cottrell-Boyce offers a thought-provoking exploration of human condition and prophecy, capturing the tension between aging, family, and environmental concerns in a rapidly shifting world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46716485435628,"sku":"9781783789542","price":27.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/2510253482823.jpg?v=1754427611"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/aidan-cottrell-boyce.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
