A sharp-eyed look at life in postwar Britain, a smart modern morality play, and a book that drips with summer in its Cornwall setting. I especially appreciated Kennedy's ability to switch from perspective to perspective and steadily ratchet up the tension as we head towards the disaster exposed in the prologue. This felt like the perfect transitional book for the end of summer and beginning of fall and was a hidden gem with a bit of a White Lotus feel to it.

The characters are dynamic even though there are many of them. The structure of the book is interesting as you watch them head towards doom and wonder who will escape. The overall theme is that it is connection to others regardless of our own deficiencies that will save us from oblivion which is a nice message.
