Nights<\/em> is the story of a love affair laced with fluid motives and an unpredictable balance of power. Reading these tightly locked, impeccably drawn chapters was akin to sitting with an old photo album that jolts presumption; the slight downturn of lips or lack of wrinkles around smiling eyes tease, invoking questions about passion\u2014its veils and intricacies. Tepper\u2019s details are precise sensory delicacies that beg meaning and lend themselves to a curiosity that grows with each exchange.
