Description
The London family once seemed close-knit, but adulthood brings fractures that threaten to pull its members apart. Newly divorced Tony is adrift, while his brothers Sean and Ned face their own private struggles as old tensions and new complications unsettle the family’s carefully maintained balance. When an unwelcome stranger enters their lives, buried resentments and vulnerabilities rise to the surface, forcing each family member to confront questions of loyalty, love, and betrayal. With sharp insight and darkly compelling drama, Lisa Jewell explores how easily ordinary family troubles can spiral into something far more dangerous.
