A proposito di questo titolo

Brought to you by Penguin.

David and Jo Henniger are on their way to a party at their old friends' home, deep in the Moroccan desert. But as a groggy David navigates the dark desert roads, two young men spring from the roadside, the car swerves and collides with one of the boys...

Meanwhile, festivities at the house are in full flow. Under the watchful eyes of their Moroccan staff, the extravagant hosts attend to the whims of their glittering, insatiable guests as the party rages on into a new day. The stage is set for a weekend in which David and Jo must come to terms with their fateful act and its shattering consequences.

Recensioni della critica

Compelling…Engrossing…Gripping
Surprising and dark and excellent
A sinister story about guilt, atonement and restitution, fashioned from lean, prowling prose
A terrifically realised encounter between the clashing values of traditional Islam and the hedonistic, secular West... Beautifully written, painfully resolved. (Lionel Shriver)
More than a stylish thriller… The central plot has parallels with The Bonfire of the Vanities, while the socialites could be straight out of The Great Gatsby
A gripping read
A superbly compelling novel... As menacing and engrossing as the best McEwan
Osborne brings together all his authorial talents in this gripping and sophisticated thriller
Stylish, somehow both lavish and muscular at the same time
Utterly compelling; at the risk of trotting out a cliché, I couldn't put the book down
