Más información sobre el libro

What if a number of people suddenly vanished without explanation? This is the reality for the citizens of Mapleton, who grapple with the aftermath of the Sudden Departure, losing friends, neighbors, and loved ones. The event has disrupted every aspect of life—marriages, friendships, and parent-child relationships are all affected. Kevin Garvey, the new mayor, seeks to heal his traumatized community and restore hope. However, his own family has disintegrated: his wife, Laurie, has joined the Guilty Remnant, a cult that practices silence, while his son, Tom, has dropped out of college to follow a dubious prophet named Holy Wayne. Only Kevin’s teenage daughter, Jill, remains, but she is far from the model student she once was. As Kevin attempts to support her, he finds himself drawn to Nora Durst, a woman who lost her entire family on October 14th and is struggling to rebuild her life. Through heart and intelligence, the narrative explores the complexities of love, connection, and loss in the wake of tragedy, highlighting the challenges faced by ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.
