Summary Note |
Lou Connor wants to escape her emotionally crass family and life of poverty, so she travels from Sydney to the USA as an exchange student. But her host family, the Hardings who live in a prefabricated mansion in a nameless Chicago suburb are in suffocating pursuit of a particular form of suburban perfection. From the very beginning, nothing is as it seems. |
