Summary

Longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction

A New York Times Book Review pick of Best Books Now in Paperback

In the present, Sacha knows the world’s in trouble. Her brother Robert just is trouble. Their mother and father are having trouble. Meanwhile, the world’s in meltdown­—and the real meltdown hasn’t even started yet. In the past, a lovely summer. A different brother and sister know they’re living on borrowed time.

This is a story about people on the brink of change. They’re family, but they think they’re strangers. So: Where does family begin? And what do people who think they’ve got nothing in common have in common?

Summer.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“A prose poem in praise of memory, forgiveness, getting the joke, and seizing the moment.” New York TImes
“Stunning…There could be no more nourishing read for this summer of our discontent.” Sunday Times (London)
“A novel that is wonderfully entertaining—for its humor, allusions, deft use of time and memory, sharply realized characters, and delightfully relevant digressions—and a reminder, brought home by the pandemic, that everything and everyone truly is connected and the sufferance of suffering hurts us all. Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
