An explosive YA thriller from international bestselling author of One of Us is Lying.
The Storys are the envy of their neighbours: owners of the largest property on their East Coast island, they are rich, beautiful, and close. Until it all falls apart. The four children are suddenly dropped by their mother with a single sentence:
You know what you did.
They never hear from her again.
Years later, when 18-year-old cousins Aubrey, Milly and Jonah Story receive a mysterious invitation to spend the summer at their grandmother's resort, they have no choice but to follow their curiosity and meet the woman who's been such an enigma their entire lives.
This entire family is built on secrets, right? It's the Story legacy.
This summer, the teenagers are determined to discover the truth at the heart of their family. But some secrets are better left alone.

'Given that her high-school-based murder mysteries read like bingeworthy Netflix dramas, it's easy to see why queen of teen crime Karen McManus is a bestseller on both sides of the Atlantic.'
—— The Observer'McManus keeps the juicy subplots ticking over and drip-feeds reveals as clinically as an IV tube.'
—— The GuardianContains all the best and familiar Amis qualities - including superb sexual comedy.
—— Sunday TimesRichard Flanagan is one of the greatest writers at work in the world today - I admire him and his writing immensely. The Living Sea of Waking Dreams is a haunting, urgent and important book about our broken and confusing age
—— James RebanksStriking... brilliantly done... Flanagan is wise enough to place his wider concerns, and the accompanying magic realism within the sturdy framework of a conventional family narrative
—— The TimesMagnificent... Flanagan hasn't just written about the space between living and dying; in writing about the things that are disappearing from the world he's captured something fundamental about the moment we're living in
—— Guardian AustraliaPure and simple... A book in which workaday realism is increasingly marbled with magical effects... What impresses most, however, is that Flanagan's novel doesn't end in condemnation. It keeps searching for the proper form for love
—— Geordie Williamson , The AustralianFlanagan has delivered a book that both distills the literary qualities for which he has been celebrated for more than a quarter of a century and recasts our ideas about the kind of writer he is and what he can do. This novel is a revelation and triumph, from a writer demonstrating, yet again, the depths of his talent, while revelling in a new, unfamiliar register. It is at once timely and timeless, full of despair but leavened by hope, angry and funny and sad and a bit magical... What an astonishing book this is
—— Michael Williams , Sydney Morning HeraldAn extraordinary tour de force, utterly compelling... It's a heartfelt, urgent plea to restore our connection to the world before it's too late
—— Morag MacInnes , Tablet, *Novel of the Week*Utterly dazzling
—— Jonathan Wright , SFXFascinating
—— Scotland on Sunday, *Books to Look Out For 2020*[Flanagan's] prose has a pyrotechnic brilliance
—— Max Davidson , Mail on SundayThere's much beauty and hope to be found in The Living Sea of Waking Dreams
—— Claire Webb , Radio Times
