About this Event
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING PHENOMENON OF 2024, WITH ONE MILLION COPIES SOLD, NOW IN PAPERBACK. Named a best book of the year by The New York Times, People, NPR, Barack Obama, and more, Liz Moore’s crowd-pleasing, list-topping novel unspools the ever-deepening mystery of a teenager’s disappearance from her Adirondack summer camp
Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found.
As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.
