C'è stato un tempo in cui Aaron Stein credeva che i libri fossero dei piccoli miracoli. Ci avete mai pensato? Con sole ventisei lettere e qualche segno di interpunzione, di pagina in pagina, nei libri prendono forma parole infinite e infiniti mondi. Ora, però, Aaron non la pensa più così.

Hvad nu, hvis det, du troede var slutningen på historien, i virkeligheden blot var begyndelsen på det næste kapitel? Indtil videre har det uundgåelige ikke virket særlig godt for Aaron Stein.

Bogen "Bare en dag" fulgte Allyson og hendes ønske om at finde sammen med Willem igen. Efterfølgeren "Bare et år" gav os historien fra Willems perspektiv om det år, hvor de ikke var sammen. Nu har de endelig fundet hinanden igen, og "Bare en nat" er det allersidste kapitel i parrets romantiske historie.
