Description
In a small, tightly knit community, a family’s carefully arranged life begins to fracture when a sudden, unsettling event forces everyone to confront what they’ve been avoiding. As relationships strain and loyalties are tested, the story moves between private grief and public consequence, revealing how memory, class, and belonging shape the choices people make. With lyrical precision and emotional clarity, this novel explores the long shadows of the past and the fragile ways communities try to keep order. Laura McHugh’s distinctive, character-driven style brings depth and momentum to a tale of resilience, moral reckoning, and the search for truth when it finally becomes unavoidable.
