ReceptionReception of the novel was mixed. Anne Enright doesn't make a firm conclusion about the novel, but notes two major features when reviewing the novel for The Guardian: the novel continue's O'Brien's interest in down trodden, and calls the depiction of life "remarkable [for its] honesty".[1] Publisher's Weekly was more positive about the novel noting that it "evokes the cruelty of estrangement while allowing her characters to remain sympathetic and giving them real voice."[3]Slate reviewer Claire Dederer described the novel as challenging to start reading, but epitomizes O'Brien's focus on "the poetic and the sensational", while at times the "lyricism" and "sentamentalism" "get away from her".[4] Dederer concludes that the novel does two things: it "stands apart, refusing to give mere comfort."[4]References1. ^1 {{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2006/oct/14/featuresreviews.guardianreview18|title=Murderous loves|last=Enright|first=Anne|date=2006-10-14|newspaper=The Guardian|language=en-GB|issn=0261-3077|access-date=2016-03-05}} {{Edna O'Brien}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Light of Evening}}2. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/features/edna-obrien-the-mother-of-invention-417886.html|title=Edna O'Brien: The mother of invention|website=The Independent|language=en-GB|access-date=2016-03-05}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-618-71867-2|title=Fiction Book Review: The Light of Evening by Edna O'Brien, Author .
