[close] Perrotta, author of Little Children and Election, describes a world where half the people on earth have one day simply vanished. Was it the rapture? Perhaps some other unexplained mystery? Perotta describes the lives of those who are left behind, and how they try to make sense of their existence in this new landscape. Focusing on a few families in one small town, we learn how they establish relationships, make careers, and move forward with their lives when things have changed forever, and no one really knows why.
