A magnetic novel about two families, strangers to each other, who are forced together on a long weekend gone terribly wrong.
From the bestselling author of Rich and Pretty comes a suspenseful and provocative novel keenly attuned to the complexities of parenthood, race, and class. Leave the World Behind explores how our closest bonds are reshaped—and unexpected new ones are forged—in moments of crisis.
Amanda and Clay head out to a remote corner of Long Island expecting a vacation: a quiet reprieve from life in New York City, quality time with their teenage son and daughter, and a taste of the good life in the luxurious home they’ve rented for the week. But a late-night knock on the door breaks the spell. Ruth and G. H. are an older couple—it’s their house, and they’ve arrived in a panic. They bring the news that a sudden blackout has swept the city. But in this rural area—with the TV and internet now down, and no cell phone service—it’s hard to know what to believe.
Should Amanda and Clay trust this couple—and vice versa? What happened back in New York? Is the vacation home, isolated from civilization, a truly safe place for their families? And are they safe from one other?

Leuk om een keer een totaal unieke schrijfstijl te lezen. Heb je iets gemist als je dit boek niet gelezen hebt? Nee, dat niet.

An unimaginative family goes on a dull holiday when some strange unexplained stuff happens. The stuff remains unexplained, the family remains boring. Long inventory summups and a lot of cluelessness.

Intrigerend verhaal. Begint langzaam. Wilde aanvankelijk stoppen. Toch doorgegaan en dan wil je weten hoe het afloopt. Einde dan wel weer teleurstellend. Waar heb ik naar geluisterd? Fijne voorleesstem.

Totale verwarring. En ik weet niet of dat positief is 😅
