Recommended by bookseller Karin Scherer:
"Two wealthy young women encounter a Syrian refugee on the beach of the Greek island where their families are summering. While their intentions are good, the chain reaction they unleash by helping him is beyond anyone's expectations. Osborne is a startingly good observer of privilege, noting rites and rituals of the upper classes with unerring precision and an undercurrent of malice. An heir to Graham Greene."
