Harmless

James Grainger

4.9/5 (22649 ratings)

Description:Set over the course of a single day and night, a tense, provocative, and psychologically astute first novel in the tradition of Herman Koch's The Dinner, Tom Perrotta's Little Children, and Christos Tsiolkas's The Slap, about a weekend reunion of old friends that takes a terrifying turn when two teenage girls go missing. A long weekend with old friends in the country is not Joseph's idea of a good time -- not when he's promised his ex-wife he'll use the occasion to talk to their troubled fourteen-year-old daughter, and not when the rural home belongs to his former lover and her husband, Alex. Once best friends, Joseph, an overworked, debt-ridden columnist, and Alex, an embittered activist, are now estranged, with much left unspoken between them. As more guests arrive and the reunion unfolds, old yearnings and tensions emerge through the cracks in their lives. But things take a terrifying turn when the adults return from a nostalgic drug-fuelled bender at sundown to discover their two teenage daughters are missing. As night descends and the girls remain unfound, Joseph and Alex decide to enter the surrounding woods together in search of their daughters. What the two men encounter in the wilderness and in the darkness of their own hearts will push them to confront how far they are willing to go to protect the ones they love. By turns blackly comic, thought-provoking, and harrowing, Harmless introduces James Grainger as an unflinching observer of the way we live now, and exposes the dark impulses we conceal beneath the veneer of our modern lives.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
