LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND: Rumaan Alam

LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND

by Rumaan Alam

This literary thriller kept me on the hook the whole way through; it's a holiday read with teeth. Like Amanda and her middle-class family, you too will be seduced by the lazy Hamptons summer and remote but beautiful Airbnb they are vacationing at. But don't get too comfortable, all is not as it seems. The sudden arrival of a couple claiming to be the house's owners escaping from a mysterious blackout in the city sends the tension rocketing. A brilliant, incisive novel with some very sharp underlying observations. Truly unnerving!
