The Cement Garden by Ian McEwan

The Cement Garden (Vintage Blue) (Vintage International) (Camden S.) (Picador Books)

by Ian McEwan

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.
