Leave the World Behind explores how our closest bonds are reshaped—and unexpected new ones are forged—in moments of crisis.Amanda and Clay head out to a remote corner of Long Island expecting a vacation: a quiet reprieve from life in New York City, quality time with their teenage son and daughter, and a taste of the good life in the luxurious home they’ve rented for the week. But a late-night knock on the door breaks the spell. Ruth and G. H. are an older couple—it’s their house, and they’ve arrived in a panic. They bring the news that a sudden blackout has swept the city. But in this rural area—with the TV and internet now down, and no cell phone service—it’s hard to know what to believe. Should Amanda and Clay trust this couple—and vice versa? What happened back in New York? Is the vacation home, isolated from civilization, a truly safe place for their families? And are they safe from one other?Book Leave the World Behind: A Novel Review :
This book had so much advance buzz. It was recommended on a literary site that I read, so I bought this and couldn't wait to dig in.. What a let down. I found the writing style odd and disjointed. In the first chapter, the author kept saying "Vacations make you horny" What ??The story was meandering and implausible. A family of 4 from NYC, Amanda, Clay and their two children, rent a luxury vacation home on rural Long Island. Early into their stay, cell phones, TV, internet, all cease to function. Something is wrong. Something big. A knock at the door in the dark of night. GH and Ruth Washington, the owners of the home present themselves and sleep in the basement suite. They drove in from NYC, seeking refuge.What happened in the outside world is never really explained. Nuclear war? Terrorist attack? Who knows?The book also ended abruptly and in an unsatisfactory fashion. Many thanks to NetGalley and Bloomsbury Publishing for a free ARC of this book.I've never read this author before but took a chance when the book description pulled me in.Right off the bat, I'll say that this is likely to be one of those Marmite books--you either love it or hate it with no middle ground.The style of the prose annoyed me immensely and I had to persevere. However, I soon grew used to it. A few statements irked me: for example, 'He wore [...] those brown pants every man over thirty-five wears.' Nope, actually, I rarely see a man of any age wearing brown pants as a matter of course.Add to that the whole page given over to what the wife bought. Yes, you read that correctly ... a WHOLE PAGE..... 'She bought yogurt and blueberries. She bought sliced turkey, whole-grain bread, that pebbly mud-colored mustard, and mayonnaise. She bought potato chips and tortilla chips and jarred salsa full of ... ' yada yada yada.But then, in complete juxtaposition, I loved some lines: for example, 'filed away in cyberspace, a shelf they could not reach.' (Of course, we'll need to ignore the comma splice there.)And another line: It was a whisky old enough to vote.'At about the halfway point, and certainly in the latter 25%, the tension picked up and had me gripped. Sadly, though, we never do find out what's happened. No clue what the actual catastrophe is, aside from the odd hint buried here and there in the vastly flowery prose.A final point is that the narrative is told from omniscient point of view, which leads to chronic head hopping. However, the author did this well enough that I could get along with it for the most part. Only a couple of times did I have to stop and re-read to ascertain who's head I was in at a particular point. What didn't work was that the voices of the kids read exactly like the voices of the adults.All in all, it's an okay read but not my cup of tea. I'd classify this as descriptive literary fiction.It gets 2 stars from me.***NOTE ON RATINGS: I consider a 3-star rating a positive review. Picky about which books I give 5 stars to, I reserve this highest rating for the stories I find stunning and which moved me.5 STARS: IT WAS AMAZING! I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN! — Highly Recommended.4 STARS: I WOULD PULL AN ALL-NIGHTER — Go read this book.3 STARS: IT WAS GOOD! — An okay read. Didn’t love it. Didn’t hate it.2 STARS: I MAY HAVE LIKED A FEW THINGS —Lacking in some areas: writing, characterisation, and/or problematic plot lines.1 STAR: NOT MY CUP OF TEA —Lots of issues with this book.
