Un roman magnétique, vibrant et prophétique.


Amanda et Clay se dirigent vers un coin reculé de Long Island avec l'idée de faire une pause dans leur vie trépidante à New York : un répit d'un week-end dans une maison de luxe en compagnie de leur fils et de leur fille. Cependant, le charme est rompu à l'aube, lorsque Ruth et G. H., un couple âgé, frappent à la porte : ce sont les propriétaires de la maison et ils se sont présentés là en état de panique avec la nouvelle qu'une panne de courant soudaine a balayé la ville. Soudain, les deux familles commencent à être témoins d'étranges phénomènes de la nature, comme une harde de cerfs qui s'enfuit effrayée et sème le chaos dans le jardin.

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?
