The Last Summer

The new novel by Pulitzer Prize finalist Lydia Millay begins as a coming-of-age story that quickly turns into a thriller.

Twelve children are forced to vacation with their parents in a mansion by the lake. In the company of adults, Sodom and Gomorrah reign, while the neglected children observe them with disdain – they have even invented a game, the main rule of which is to not reveal who your parents are. When a devastating storm hits the shore, the adults repeatedly prove their inadequacy, and the children must take responsibility for their survival.

«The Last Summer» is a prophetic, heart-wrenching story about growing up and the inevitable divide between generations.
