We're Safe When We're Alone

Meer over het boek

Son is real. Son was saved from a life he cannot remember. Son is a human in a mythical world of ghosts. This is what Father tells him. Son has lived his entire life inside the mansion. He is a good child. He reads, practices piano, studies, and watches ghosts tend the farmland through a window in the attic. When Father decides it is time for Son to venture outside, Son's desire to please Father overpowers his fear and he must contend with questions he never wanted to face. What are the relentlessly happy ghosts hiding? Has a ghost taken control of Father? What answers or horrors lie in the forest? And who will stop the mysterious encroaching shadows? We're Safe When We're Alone is a moving exploration of loss, coming of age in a collapsing world, and the battle between isolation and assimilation.
