AN AUDACIOUS BOOK CLUB PICK - A diverse group of New Yorkers are brought together by the search for a missing woman--in this electric novel of secrets, connection, and community.
"Cinematic, preternaturally humane, and absolutely unputdownable--I just loved it."--Claire Lombardo, People "What Your Favorite Authors are Reading This Summer"
"Riveting."--Charmaine Wilkerson, New York Times bestselling author of Black Cake A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker, The Washington Post, Time, Kirkus Reviews Brooklyn, 2020. Theo Harper and his pregnant wife, Darla, head upstate to their summer cottage to wait out the lockdown. Not everyone in their upscale Park Slope building has this privilege: not Xavier, the teenager in the Cardi B T-shirt, nor Darla's best friend, Ruby, and her partner, Katsumi, who stay behind to save their Michelin-starred restaurant. During an upstate hike on the aptly named Devil's Path, Theo divulges a long-held secret--and when Darla disappears after the ensuing argument, he finds himself the prime suspect. As Darla's and Theo's families and friends come together to search for her, with Ruby and Katsumi stepping in to broker peace, past and present collide with startling consequences. Set against the pulse of an ever-changing city, The Rich People Have Gone Away connects the lives of ordinary New Yorkers to tell a powerful story of hope, love, and inequity in our times--while reminding us that no one leaves the past behind completely.
