Kate Collins, author of A Good House for Children
At the height of lockdown, six friends make an illicit break for freedom. They're determined to enjoy their summer at Holt House, even if that means ignoring the deep fractures in their group.
Jan is secretly sleeping with Nadya, whose boyfriend, Theo - ever the gracious host - just wants everyone to get high. Kara and Luke can't stop fighting, and Jan's ex-lover, Ursie, feels out of place among their excess and privilege.
As tempers flare and old wounds reopen, their friendship begins to strain - politics, racism, antisemitism, sex and lies. And with drugs and desires blurring in the shadows of the house, a more ominous force threatens to ruin their trip...
