The Cement Garden

£400 · Offered by Goldsboro Books

In the arid summer heat, four children Jack, Julie, Sue and Tom find themselves abruptly orphaned. All the routines of childhood are cast aside as the children adapt to a now parentless world. Alone in the house together, the childrens lives twist into something unrecognisable as the outside begins to bear down on them.
