Amanda y Clay se dirigen a un rincon remoto de Long Island con la idea de tomarse un descanso de su ajetreada vida en Nueva York: un respiro de fin de semana en una casa de lujo en compania de su hijo y su hija. Sin embargo, el hechizo se rompe de madrugada, cuando Ruth y G. H., una pareja mayor, llama a la puerta: son los propietarios de la casa y se han presentado alli en estado de panico con la noticia de que un apagon repentino ha barrido la ciudad. De repente, las dos familias empiezan a presenciar extranos fenomenos de la naturaleza, como una manada de ciervos que huye despavorida y siembra el caos en el jardin.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Finalist for the 2020 National Book Awards Listed as one of Barack Obama’s Summer Favorites A Read with Jenna Today Show Pick.

Best Book of the Year by The Washington Post, NPR, Time, Esquire and Elle among others.

A
magnetic novel about two families, strangers to each other, who are forced
together on a long weekend gone terribly wrong.

From the bestselling author of Rich and Pretty comes a suspenseful and
provocative novel keenly attuned to the complexities of parenthood, race, and
class. Leave the World Behind explores how our closest bonds are reshaped-and
unexpected new ones are forged-in moments of crisis.

Amanda and Clay head out to a remote corner of Long Island expecting a vacation:
a quiet reprieve from life in New York City, quality time with their teenage
son and daughter, and a taste of the good life in the luxurious home they’ve
rented for the week. But a late-night knock on the door breaks the spell.
Ruth and G. H. are an older couple-it’s their house, and they’ve arrived in a
panic. They bring the news that a sudden blackout has swept the city. But in
this rural area-with the TV and internet now down, and no cell phone
service-it’s hard to know what to believe.

Should Amanda and Clay trust this couple-and vice versa? What happened back
in New York? Is the vacation home, isolated from civilization, a truly safe
place for their families? And are they safe from one other?
