*In this "irresistibly readable" (New York Review of Books) tour de
force of psychological unease, the Booker Prize winner and bestselling
author of Atonement excavates the ruins of childhood and uncovers
things that most adults have spent a lifetime forgetting--or
denying.
In the arid summer heat, four children--Jack, Julie, Sue and Tom--find
themselves abruptly orphaned. All the routines of childhood are cast
aside as the children adapt to a now parentless world. Alone in the
house together, the children's lives twist into something unrecognizable
as the outside begins to bear down on them.
