Author: Sarah Langan

This was a recommendation from Tracie. It seems most of the adds to my To Read list come from Goodreads friends.

The novel takes place over a few time periods but the story itself is set in the future – 2027. The story is interspersed with retrospective essays written in 2036 and 2043 that look back on the incident.

The neighbors on Maple Street get along well, sharing parties, BBQs and friendships. But when a sinkhole opens in the park across the street things begin to go awry. The neighborhood turns on one family, the Wildes; the atmosphere on the street deteriorates quickly when a child falls through the sinkhole. You get a hint of what is coming from the retrospectives.
