Leave the World Behind - A Novel - Grand Format

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 New York.
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 has happened back in New York ? Is the vacation home, isolated from civilization, truly a safe place for their families ? And are they safe from one another ? Leave the World Behind explores how our closest bonds are reshaped - and unexpected new ones are forged - in moments of crisis.
