The disappearance is especially chilling because the Van Laars own the camp—and because Barbara isn’t the first of their children to vanish. Fourteen years earlier, her older brother, Bear, disappeared from the same estate and was never found. The novel deftly jumps between 1975, 1961, and even further back, unearthing the dark history of a wealthy dynasty, the class tensions of the local town, and the secrets of the people who live in the shadow of the woods.
Liz Moore is the author of five novels, most recently the New York Times-bestselling The God of the Woods, which was a Barack Obama pick and the winner of the Jimmy Fallon summer book club. She is also the author of Long Bright River, also a bestseller, which has been produced for TV by Peacock and will release in 2025. Moore's novels have been translated into more than twenty-five languages. The winner of a 2014 Rome Prize in Literature, Moore lives with her family in Philadelphia.
