Amanda and Clay head to a remote corner of Long Island, expecting a quiet vacation and a break from life in New York City, and a fun time with their teenage son and daughter in the luxury inn they rented for the week. Suddenly Ruth and G.H. (the original homeowners) knock late at night in a panic, claiming that a sudden darkness has swept the city! But in this rural area, with TV, internet, and mobile services cut off, it’s hard to know what to believe. Should Amanda and Clay trust these two couples, and vice versa? And are they safe from each other? A compelling, exciting, and provocative literary work about the world we live in now. The novel "Leave the World Behind" explores how our closest bonds are reshaped, and how new unexpected connections are formed in moments of crisis, and how the most terrifying situations are never far from reality.
