Summer Cannibals

by Melanie Hobson
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
Sisterly bonds, dark desires, and terrible secrets converge in this "tale of scorching family dysfunction that ranges among the gothic, domestic, and carnal" (Publishers Weekly).
Summoned to their magnificent family home on the shores of Lake Ontario—a paradisiacal mansion perched on an escarpment above the city—three adult sisters come together in what seems like an act of family solidarity. Pregnant and unwell, the youngest has left her husband and four young children in New Zealand and returned home to heal. But while their home features immaculate gardens the likes of which few could imagine possessing, it is also a place of trauma and vengeance, where family togetherness leads to feasting on each other's sexual appetites and weaknesses. Each daughter has her own particular taste, and overlaying everything is their parents, with unquenchable cravings of their own.
As the affluent family endures six intense days in one another's company, old fissures reappear. When long-buried truths finally come to light, the sisters and their parents must face the unthinkable consequences of their actions.
