Twelve people on holiday with their families look on as the skies remain resolutely grey.

Who are they? Where are they from? Should they be here at all? As darkness finally falls, something is unravelling . . .From the acclaimed author of Ghost Wall, Sarah Moss' Summerwater is a devastating story told over twenty-four hours in the Scottish highlands, and a searing exploration of our capacity for both kinship and cruelty in these divided times.'A masterpiece' - Jessie Burton'One of her best' - Irish Times'Beautifully written, intense, powerful' - David Nicholls
