Titel: Among Friends
Auteur: Hal Ebbott
ISBN: 9781035055432
Conditie: Als nieuw

What begins as a celebratory weekend between two families soon devolves into a reckoning of sins, past and present, as an act of violence shatters their finely made world.



A perfect world. But a betrayal that could shatter everything.

'Every sentence keeps you hanging in the air, waiting for the next punch to the gut' - Miranda Cowley Heller, author of The Paper Palace

'A hard diamond of a novel . . . I have not stopped thinking of it since' - Coco Mellors, author of Blue Sisters

For thirty years, Amos and Emerson have built a life others envy. Their wives are close, their teenage daughters have grown up together, their days are passed in the comfortable languor of New York City wealth. Their bond seems unbreakable.

This weekend, however, something is different. After gathering for Emerson’s birthday at his country home, celebration gives way to old rivalries and resentments. When tensions erupt, their finely made world is ruptured in one shocking act of violence.

In its wake, each must ask: when your world collapses, what — and who — will you sacrifice to survive?

Hal Ebbott’s Among Friends is a razor-sharp look at the dark side of American wealth, the brittle foundations of friendship, and the desperate lengths we go to to keep our secrets hidden.
