We're heading to a place where we can be safe and secure, away from the dangers and uncertainties of the world. We won't have to come back here ever again.

As the rest of the world slumbers, Eleanor carefully buckles her infant daughter, Amy, into the backseat of her car. This is the moment she had been preparing for, when she and Amy would leave behind her husband, Leon, and a marriage that had been torn apart by his return from Vietnam. Together, they would embark on a journey to blue mountain, a place of enchantment and sanctuary that had captivated Eleanor's childhood.

As the car trudges along the miles, Eleanor's mind wanders back to her fractured relationship with her mother, Kitty. Kitty, who had always demanded so much from life, from love, from family. Kitty, who had fought tirelessly to free her husband, George, from the clutches of war. Kitty, whose disapproving voice echoed so loudly in Eleanor's head. Tense, visceral, and glittering, this novel is a masterful return to fiction from the acclaimed author of See What I Have Done.
