Everything turns away

Summary: On September 11th, 2001, the world changed. For Sophie and Paul, it started with a disastrous dinner party. For the babysitter, it started with waking in a dark kitchen and recognizing the smell of blood. For everyone else it started with a plane flying into the World Trade Centre. In this tautly written domestic thriller Michelle Berry weaves together the story of two couples whose lives are about to be unraveled by the murder of a neighbour, a babysitter that has gone missing and the aftermath of the collapse of the World Trade Centre. Everything Turns Away is a haunting exploration of marriages and what tears them apart, of what happens to people during shocking events and of how everything can change in an instant. Filled with richly drawn characters, a web of thwarted desires and multiple motives, Everything Turns Away, is riveting until the very end.
