Told from five points of view, What the Ground Can't Hold follows: Emma, an Australian faced with an impossible decision that could see her parents jailed. Jack, a teenager obsessed with Jack Kerouac, anti-globalism and sex. Carmen, a tango dancer whose estranged father is dying of cancer. Pedro, the cabin manager, who's in hiding from his ex-wife. And Wolfe, an American on a deadly family quest. With food supplies dwindling, these unlikely companions are forced to extremes and discover they are bound by more than their surroundings - each has a secret that links them to Argentina's Dirty War. What the Ground Can't Hold is a mesmerising debut about the ways the past closes in on the present, and shatters the foundations upon which we build our lives.
