Description
Chloe's home is a carefully curated space, filled with knick-knacks and mementos that shield her from the world. But when she's sent away to live with her grandparents, she finds herself in a new and unfamiliar environment. As Chloe navigates this change, she begins to experience the world in ways she never has before. She falls in with a group of outsiders who introduce her to a life of risk and savagery. Yet, despite the thrill of this new world, Chloe's mother's influence remains strong, forcing her to confront the limits of her own courage. This is a story about the complex bond between parent and child, and the intensity of the final summer of childhood. With its unique blend of darkness and tenderness, it explores the challenges of growing up and finding one's place in the world.
