A riveting novel about Cape Cod, complicated families and long-buried secrets

Summer, Cape Cod. Every member of the Gardner family is hiding a secret. Ken, a businessman with political ambitions, is caught in an internet chatroom and forced into couples therapy. Abby is ashamed to still depend on her brother's goodwill to sustain her life as an artist. Adam, their father and brilliant oceanographer, decides to come off his bipolar disorder medication to make one last scientific breakthrough. And then there's Steph- a new person living on the periphery, who harbours a secret that will change everything . . .

'Smart, funny and beautifully written. Brodeur is a brilliant dissector of family relationships, a lyricist of the natural world, and an astute observer of our inner turmoils' MONICA ALI

Reviews for Little Monsters: PERFECT FOR FANS OF FLEISHMAN IS IN TROUBLE AND THE PAPER PALACE

Gorgeous, gripping, I couldn't put it down. Adrienne Brodeur does family intrigue and dysfunction like no one else I know. In Little Monsters, she once again draws back the curtain on a world of seaside wealth and casual privilege, to reveal a family unravelled by the lies, rivalries, secrets, and silences that have bound it together -- Ruth Ozeki Brodeur creates an evocative sense of place in a Cape Cod-set novel that's affecting and powerful * Observer * An utterly gripping, immersive story of one family's unravelling traumas and hopes. It will capture and hold you in its depths. Brodeur creates characters who are so real, so complex, I could almost touch them, feel them sitting beside me -- Christy Lefteri, author of The Beekeeper of Aleppo A page-turner about the conspiracy of silence and corrosive nature of skeletons in the closet * Financial Times * Beautiful, lyrical and unvarnished, Adrienne Brodeur's Little Monsters delivers its powerful emotional punches so subtly that they sneak up on you and leave you floored -- Miranda Cowley Heller, New York Times bestselling author of The Paper Palace
