Re-jacketed in a stunning new series style for 2023, this is the first novel from Booker prize-winning, Sunday Times-bestselling Ian McEwan
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 unrecognisable as the outside begins to bear down on them.
