A holiday in the sun with your family - just what you want, or the last thing you need?
For single parent Tessa, it's going to be a perfect time for some much-needed mother-daughter bonding. And you never know, she might even get a holiday romance out of it. Yeah, right.
For Felicity, glamorous career woman, absentee mother and distracted wife, it's going to be an endurance test, especially as her husband Cliff's ghastly family have come too.
For the staff at the resort, it looks like just another boring fortnight in paradise.
But then disaster strikes and everyone is stranded on the island. And that's when things really start to get interesting...
There are more plot ideas in Chuck Palahniuk’s Lullaby than some writers manage in a whole book

—— ArenaA black comic cauldron bubbling with contagious ideas

—— Library JournalColin Thubron seems to be a writer undaunted by immensity, either of place or plot... To the Last City is haunting and passionate and, above all, magnificently fearless
