The Outsider - Hourican, Emily

. .

Résumé :
A thought-provoking tale of family, flawed friendship and betrayal. Two very different families ... One is loud, eccentric, rich and confident. The other is less sure of their place in life. On holidays in Portugal, a near-drowning brings the ten-year-old daughters, Jamie and Sarah, together and a friendship is formed. As the bond between the girls grows deeper, so too do the ties between their families and an unsettling closeness develops between two of the adults. Then, as Jamie begins to feel suffocated by the intensity of Sarah's friendship, cracks begin to show. What will it take to shatter the facade of friendship? The affair? The obsessive crush? And which family will be left whole?--Publisher description....
