Description
A magnetic novel about two families, strangers to each other, who are forced together on a long weekend gone terribly wrong. Rumaan Alam's latest novel explores how our closest bonds are reshaped--and unexpected new ones are forged--in moments of crisis. When Amanda and Clay rent a luxurious home in rural Long Island for a quiet vacation, they expect a reprieve from life in New York City. But a late-night knock on the door breaks the spell, bringing an older couple, Ruth and G.H., who bring news of a sudden blackout that has swept the city. As the TV and internet go down, and cell phone service is lost, Amanda and Clay must navigate their relationships with these strangers, and wonder what happened back in New York. As the weekend wears on, tensions rise, and the lines between trust and suspicion become increasingly blurred. Will they be safe from each other?
