The Bird of Night is a 1972 novel by Susan Hill.
In 1972, the book won the Whitbread Award, and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize.
Susan Hill commented in 2006, "A novel of mine was shortlisted for Booker and won the Whitbread Prize for Fiction. It was a book I have never rated. I don't think it works, though there are a few good things in it. I don't believe in the characters or the story."[1]
