It's 1936: New York is suffering through the Great Depression, frightening things are happening in Europe, and Artie Saltzman and Harold Abramovitz, friends since their Brooklyn childhood, are unsure about everything--jobs, lefty politics, women. After this time in the mountains, nothing will be quite the same. </p><p>From World War II to the McCarthy-era witch hunts, through work, marriages, and life with children, Artie and Harold turn to each other, whether for solace or another good argument. And when Artie's daughter Brenda comes of age during the 1960s, her struggles with jobs, love, and friendship in yet another period of political turmoil recall Artie and Harold's youth.</p><p>A sweeping yet intimate novel about people who never stop loving one another despite everything life throws at them, <em>When We Argued All Night</em> illuminates a friendship over more than sixty-five years, as the twentieth century gives way to the changed yet recognizable times in which we live.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Mattison always operates in both close-up and wide angle, and here the effect is often dazzling. Her prose is so crisp that along with all the pleasures of fiction she manages to deliver the particular intellectual satisfactions of an essay or a documentary."--<em>New York Times Book Review</em><br><br>"WHEN WE ARGUED ALL NIGHT provides a surprisingly intimate look at a lifelong friendship."--Shelf Awareness<br>
