Más información sobre el libro
A haunting debut that captures small-town intrigue and dark family secrets. When seventeen-year-old Emma leaves her best friend Abi at a party in the woods, she believes their lives are just beginning. However, that night marks the last time Emma will see Abi, whose disappearance reveals the hidden tensions of Whistling Ridge. The town's intimate history is rife with grudges and resentment, especially within Abi's family. Questions arise about Noah, the older brother feeling betrayed; Jude, the younger sibling concealing his scars; and their parents, Dolly and Samuel, both under the sway of a fire-and-brimstone preacher who controls the town. The arrival of Rat, an outsider, adds further unease to the already volatile atmosphere. The truth of that fateful night at the Tall Bones could ignite the simmering rage in Whistling Ridge. This gripping narrative is filled with poetry, rage, and the complexities of family dynamics, all set against the oppressive backdrop of small-town life. With its chilling and compelling storytelling, this debut is both dark and hopeful, leaving readers spellbound and eager for more.
