The Leftovers

''It was dark and sad and powerful and poetic. Just addictive, and bloody marvellous'' Louise BeechThe Leftovers is a story about sexual power and consent, the myth of the perfect victim, and a dark exploration of the things we do for ΓÇô and to ΓÇô the ones we love.
CallieΓÇÖs life is spent caring for others ΓÇô for Frey, her client, and for Noah, her brother. When a tragic car accident shatters her family, sheΓÇÖs left alone with her mother Vanessa. Vanessa''s favourite child was Noah; Callie''s favourite parent was her dad. Now they''re stuck with each other - the leftovers of their family - and they''ll have to confront the ways they''ve been hurt, and the ways they''ve passed that hurt on to others.
