书籍简介

一部磁性小说，讲述了两个互不相识的家庭被迫在一起度过一个非常糟糕的长周末的故事。

畅销书《富有与漂亮》的作者创作了一部悬疑且具有挑衅性的小说，敏锐地反映了父母身份、种族和阶级的复杂性。 《把世界抛在身后》探讨了我们在危机时刻如何重塑亲密的纽带，以及如何建立意想不到的新纽带。

阿曼达和克莱前往长岛的一个偏远角落期待假期：远离纽约市的生活，享受与十几岁的儿子和女儿共度的美好时光，并在他们租来的豪华住宅中体验美好生活 为周。 但深夜的敲门声打破了这个魔咒。 露丝和 G. H. 是一对年长的夫妇——这是他们的房子，他们惊慌地来到这里。 他们带来的消息是突然停电席卷了整个城市。 但在这个农村地区——电视和互联网现在都瘫痪了，也没有手机服务——很难知道该相信什么。

阿曼达和克莱应该信任这对夫妇吗？反之亦然？ 纽约发生了什么？ 对于他们的家人来说，与世隔绝的度假屋真的是一个安全的地方吗？ 他们彼此安全吗？

A magnetic novel about two families, strangers to each other, who are forced together on a long weekend gone terribly wrong.

From the bestselling author of Rich and Pretty comes a suspenseful and provocative novel keenly attuned to the complexities of parenthood, race, and class. Leave the World Behind explores how our close bonds are reshaped—and unexpected new ones are forged—in moments of crisis.

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 the city. 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 happened back in New York? Is the vacation home, isolated from civilization, a truly safe place for their families? And are they safe from one other?
