Luke, Connor, Thea and Violet spend their first holiday together alone in their father's house in France. The boys don't really know him - he left their mother when she was still pregnant with Connor, getting together with the girls' mother soon afterwards - and they don't really know their half-sisters, either. Luke, the eldest and most easy going of the four, is keen to bring a new shape to their overlapping, unconventional family; Connor and Thea, born just six months apart but a world of difference between them, are attracted to each other, something they try not to acknowledge but which keeps pushing its way to the surface; Violet, the youngest, is trying to figure some things out about herself, and trying desperately to forget others.

Sex, in its multiple pleasurable divergences and forms, disturbances and abuses, is on the minds of all of the siblings during the hot, lethargic summer days next to the pool. Meanwhile the land is responding and reacting to something inexplicable and eerie. There is a sound, a strong buzzing tonal undercurrent that only Connor can hear, and when Violet one night sees a plane light abruptly drop and disappear in the night sky, it signals the unsettling beginning of something that threatens so much more than their turbulent holiday...©2024 Kerry Andrews (P)2024 W.F.Howes Ltd Coming of Age Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Literature & Fiction Mystery, Thriller & Suspense Thriller & Suspense

Where do I start with this novel. Well written yes. And was with the story for the first part and then part two hits we get this post apocalyptic world where everyone disappears sprinkled with a bit of incest. I don’t know what this book was trying to achieve. The narrator does a great job creating four distinct and individual voices.

The mystery of what was happening to the world was fascinating and was such a great backdrop to the family & adolescent drama going on amongst the kids. A world was created that I want to know more about. I'd say it's Andrew's best novel so far.

Enthralling apocalyptic eco-drama
