“A long novel that at first is hard to put down. By page 200, impossible.” Stephen King
Extraordinary . . . Reminds me of Donna Tartts 1992 debut, The Secret History . . . I was so thoroughly submerged in a rich fictional world, that for hours I barely came up for air. Maureen Corrigan, Fresh Air, NPR
This expertly paced thriller has the kineticism of a well-crafted miniseries. The New Yorker
When a teenager vanishes from her Adirondack summer camp, two worlds collide
Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isnt just any thirteen-year-old: shes the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the regions residents. And this isnt the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbaras older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found.
As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moores multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moores most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.
