The Cement Garden
Author: Ian McEwan
Format: Paperback
In the arid summer heat, four children - Jack, Julie, Sue and Tom - find themselves abruptly orphaned. All the routines of childhood are cast aside as the children adapt to a now parentless world.
Alone in the house together, the children's lives twist into something unrecognisable as the outside begins to bear down on them.
