Description
A magnetic novel about two families who are forced together on a long weekend gone terribly wrong. Amanda and Clay head to a remote corner of Long Island expecting a holiday, but their spell is broken when Ruth and G.H., an older couple claiming the home's ownership, arrive in a panic. The sudden power outage has swept the city, and with nowhere else to turn, they have come to the country in search of shelter. But as the TV and internet are down, and no phone service is available, the facts are unknowable. Should Amanda and Clay trust this couple - and vice versa? What has happened back in New York? Is the holiday home, isolated from civilization, a truly safe place for their families? As tensions rise, the boundaries between strangers become increasingly blurred. A gripping and hallucinatory tale of family life, power struggles, and the fragility of human relationships.
