[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

Reader Reviews:

'started with a bang and was nearly impossible to put down'

'I read it in one sitting through the night'

'The story grabs you'



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...©2019 Nora Roberts

What a horrible novel! Violent, badly written, rude, and overall tasteless! It's not worth purchasing.

Horrible

I could not stand the story! Great deal of the story is about the perfect American Family! Too much landscaping, adoring each other’s and of course a lot of money and professional success! Wasted money

The bad and good family
