โฆ Synopsis
These three bestselling novels by the Booker Award-winning author explore the dark sides of love, family and sexuality.
The Child in Time
On a routine Saturday morning trip to the supermarket, a father's brief moment of distraction turns his life upside down when his daughter is kidnapped. His spiral of guilt and bereavement has effects on his marriage, his psyche-and time itself.
The Cement Garden
When their mother suddenly dies, four siblings hide her body in the basement to prevent others from discovering her death and placing them in foster care. But their dark secret sets them on a path of isolation and boundary-crossing intimacy.
The Comfort of Strangers
Colin and Mary are vacationing in Venice in hopes of reigniting their relationship. But after losing their way in the winding streets, their acquaintance with another couple takes turns that are likewise erotic and violent in nature.
