Overview
A year has passed since Catherine and Michael Hall lost their teenage daughter in a car accident, leaving them and their sixteen- year-old son, Rowan, reeling in the aftermath of the tragedy. Catherine withdraws to Hamdean, the family’s apartment in a Georgian country manner, where the mysteries of the past begin to collide with the truth of the present.
“Elegantly unnerving. . . . Written in cool and crystalline prose, The Shades unspools in a rational and realistic world in which all is not as it seems.” — New York Times Book Review
“An absorbing book by an author who knows how to create organic suspense without ever overplaying her hand. . . . Intricately plotted and perfectly paced. . . . An excellent debut novel that deals heavily with death, but still feels alive, compassionate and full of truths.” — NPR
