The second unforgettable novel by the international bestselling author. It's on fire! In each of the bedrooms, someone has set a fire. Stunned, Elena Richardson stands outside on the lawn in her bathrobe and her son's tennis shoes, staring into the flames. Throughout her life, she has experienced that passion is as dangerous as fire. That's why she fit in so well in Shaker Heights, the affluent suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, where the exterior paint of the houses is as regulated as the daily lives of its residents. Her husband is a partner at a law firm, she herself writes columns for the local newspaper, and their four teenage children, except for the youngest, Isabel, are well-adjusted. But it's on fire. Elena's seemingly unassailable idyll – all ashes and smoke?.
