书籍简介

在爱尔兰西海岸的海滨小镇金洛，三个老朋友多年来初次聚在一起。 海伦、乔和穆什是 2003 年夏天起初由六名形影不离的青少年组成的团体中的一员，其中失去母亲、鲁莽的卡拉·兰南 (Kala Lanann) 是他们团体的白热化中心。 那年夏天的高峰期过后不久，卡拉就消失得无影无踪。

现在已经是十五年后了。 在树林里发现了人类遗骸。 还有两名女孩失踪。 随着过去和现在开始发生冲突，这对疏远的朋友被迫面对自己在导致卡拉失踪的事件中的同谋，并试图阻止金洛的暴力模式再次重演……

以一座因自己的秘密而窒息的小镇为背景，在一个从闷烧到令人惊叹的高潮的故事中，卡拉出色地审视了有时为归属感而付出的残酷代价，以及人心中复仇与宽恕、绝望之间的斗争。 和救赎。

In the seaside town of Kinlough, on Ireland's west coast, three old friends are thrown together for the first time in years. They - Helen, Joe and Mush - were part of an original group of six inseparable teenagers in the summer of 2003, with motherless, reckless Kala Lanann as their group's white-hot centre. Soon after that summer's peak, Kala disappeared without a trace.

Now it's fifteen years later. Human remains have been discovered in the woods. Two more girls have gone missing. As past and present begin to collide, the estranged friends are forced to confront their own complicity in the events that led to Kala's disappearance, and to try to stop Kinlough's violent patterns repeating themselves once again...

Against the backdrop of a town suffocating on its own secrets, in a story that builds from a smoulder to a stunning climax, Kala brilliantly examines the sometimes brutal costs of belonging, as well as the battle in the human heart between vengeance and forgiveness, despair and redemption.
