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?

Bästa roman i åratal. Tätt. Skildringen av huvudpersonerna hisnande, psykologisk skarpa. En mystisk förändring i vardagslivet. Även som läsare kan man inte gå tillbaka...

Spännande och otäckt om relationer och förhållningssätt när tillvaron ställs på sin spets… Bra uppläsning av en berättelse som lämnar en bitter eftersmak av att inte vara så långt från verkligheten.

En mycket smart, välskriven och tankeväckande bok - om något som ligger runt hörnet för oss alla (eller?). Banala iakttagelser och torra konstateranden blandas med något omvälvande och gäckande. Lättlyssnad, tydlig och mycket väl uppläst.

Jag ville läsa innan jag eventuellt skulle se filmen. Men nej, den var inte bra.

Även om det egentligen inte händer så mycket är den väldigt spännande.

Spännande och oförutsägbar för allt var inte svart eller vitt, ont eller gott. Jag sträcklyssnade (på den engelska).
