Gentle Night includes 16 essays that narrate the life of San Mao with her husband José on the Canary Islands. Having scavenged together with the Swiss primary school teacher, made good friends with a vagrant Japanese young man, paid respect to strange compatriots lying in the cemetery, demanded unpaid salary for José in the extremely hot West Africa, and dealt with neighbors 'hard to get along', San Mao read the fickleness of human nature and knew life was not easy...However, by thinking of the angles for her guard, she was no longer frustrated, but filled with tenderness in the eyes, and coming out of her pens would still be keen reflection of the big world.
