‘A hard diamond of a novel . . . I have not stopped thinking of it since’ – Coco Mellors

‘Every sentence keeps you hanging in the air, waiting for the next punch to the gut’ – Miranda Cowley Heller

‘Packs a huge emotional punch. I couldn’t put it down’ Daily Mail

‘A living thing . . . A huge achievement’ Financial Times

Perfect lives hide terrible secrets

Having emerged from a childhood of poverty and neglect, Amos now has a life that others envy: a brilliant wife, a golden daughter, and a friendship that has anchored him for thirty years. All of that is set to change. In the course of one fateful weekend in a beautiful house upstate, Amos’s life will be undone by a shocking act of violence.

In its aftermath, Amos must ask: when your world collapses, what - and who - will you sacrifice to survive?

‘Bracingly honest and affectingly intimate . . . Upends its characters’ lives so ruthlessly and revealingly that it is hard not to take pleasure in a false facade being finally smashed’The Guardian
