Leave the World Behind by Rumaan Alam is a haunting, thought-provoking novel about trust, fear, and human connection in the face of the unknown. When a family’s quiet vacation at a remote Long Island home is interrupted by the sudden arrival of the house’s owners, news of a mysterious blackout sweeping the country leaves everyone on edge. Isolated from the outside world with no clear answers, the two families must navigate growing unease, suspicion, and the slow unraveling of what they thought was safe and familiar. Atmospheric and unsettling, this National Book Award finalist explores the fragile lines between comfort and catastrophe.
