 Lyrical and visceral, comic and tragic, compellingly earthy and maddeningly gothic - after 40 years this literary oddity continues to elude classification. Whether grim or playful, Prichard's vision in ''One Moonlit Night'' is communicated in language that provides intense esthetic pleasure.

Vi befinder os i en lille landsby i Wales omkring 1. verdenskrig. Det hele bliver fortalt gennem en navnløs drengs øjne, og fordi man ser det hele med et barns øjne, er sproget meget dagligdags-agtigt og præget af talesprog. Han bor alene med sin mor under meget fattige vilkår, og de må indimellem leve af almisser fra venner og familie.
Det går efterhånden op for læseren at livet i den lille landsby langtfra er idyllisk – moren viser sig at være ramt af en sindssygdom og hovedpersonen indeholder nogle skyggesider, der først for alvor kommer til udtryk sidst i bogen.
En sært fascinerende roman, der stiller flere spørgsmål end den giver svar.
