Resumen del Editor

The Sunday Times bestseller

Every town has its ugly little secrets...

From the outside, the house in Lakeview Terrace looks perfect and the Bigelows seem like the perfect family: the respected surgeon father, the glamorous, devoted mother and two beautiful children. A perfect family, in a perfect house living their perfect lives.

But perfect surfaces can hide dark undercurrents and behind closed doors lies a very different story. Teenager Zane and his younger sister, Britt, are terrorised by their violent father and dysfunctional mother. Too afraid to speak out, Zane does his best to protect his sister and counts the days until they can finally be free.

One dark, brutal night when their father's temper takes a horrifying turn for the worse, the perfect façade is exposed for the lie it is and Zane and Britt manage to escape. With the help of their beloved aunt, they rebuild their lives a day at a time, creating new families and putting their past behind them. But a childhood like that can cast a shadow the length of a lifetime. Can Zane and Britt ever be free of their past? Or will those dark undercurrents rise to the surface, forcing them to fight for their lives once again...

Reseñas de la Crítica

"[Under Currents] is brilliantly plotted and unrelentingly propulsive. It is a beautifully written story about the fragility of life and the power of the past and the need to fight back... a highly recommended novel for this summer." (The Washington Book Review)

"...full of powerful, magnetic characters." (Publishers Weekly)

Loved it

Great story, excellent narrator. I didnt want to stop listening. Highly recommended! Wish it was part of a series… :)

Entertaining

Nora Roberts has a fabulous way with words, and this book is no exception. I would rather read than listen, but love audio when I have work to do. Therefore companions work so well. Although I prefer male narrators to female, this narrator was not too difficult to listen to. Nora doesn’t disappoint with her vivid imagery and great story telling, I was beautifully entertained

Perfect Currents

Perfect.

The right tones. The right words.

Everything was just right.

This story had me engaged from start to finish. I understood and felt everything each characters felt. So human, so right.

Just the perfect under currents.

Disappointing

This was not what I've come to expect from Nora Roberts. It felt like I was listening to three short stories which were trying to be connected.

The narrator, one of my favorites, was brilliant as always.
