Two families are brought together as a quiet weekend getaway slowly goes wrong in the most unsettling of circumstances. This taut, masterfully written novel examines not only race and class, but how we react in times of uncertainty. I was left thinking about fear and expectations and trust long after I put the book down. This will be one of the most talked about novels of the season.
