Theo Harper and his pregnant wife, Darla, head upstate to their summer cottage to wait out the lockdown. Not everyone in their upscale Park Slope building has this privilege: not Xavier, the teenager in the Cardi B T-shirt, nor Darlas best friend, Ruby, and her partner, Katsumi, who stay behind to save their Michelin-starred restaurant.During an upstate hike on the aptly named Devils Path, Theo divulges a long-held secret—and when Darla disappears after the ensuing argument, he finds himself the prime suspect. As Darlas and Theos families and friends come together to search for her, with Ruby and Katsumi stepping in to broker peace, past and present collide with startling consequences.Set against the pulse of an ever-changing city, The Rich People Have Gone Away connects the lives of ordinary New Yorkers to tell a powerful story of hope, love, and inequity in our times—while reminding us that no one leaves the past behind completely.
