From a beloved award-winning writer, the much-anticipated novel about what happens when two families go on a tropical vacation - and the children go missing.
When Liv and Nora decide to take their families on a holiday cruise, everyone is thrilled. The ship's comforts and possibilities seem infinite. The children - two 11-year-olds, an eight-year-old, and a six-year-old - love the nonstop buffet and the independence they have at the Kids' Club. But when they all go ashore in beautiful Central America, a series of minor misfortunes leads the families farther and farther from the ship's safety. One minute the children are there, and the next they're gone.
What follows is a riveting, revealing story told from the perspectives of the adults and the children, as the once-happy parents - now turning on one another and blaming themselves - try to recover their children and their lives.
Celebrated for her ability to write vivid, spare, moving fiction, Maile Meloy shows how quickly the life we count on can fall away and how a crisis changes everyone's priorities. The fast-paced, gripping plot of Do Not Become Alarmed carries with it an insightful, provocative examination of privilege, race, guilt, envy, the dilemmas of modern parenthood, and the challenge of living up to our own expectations.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"A very smart work of literary fiction... Meloy is such a deft writer that she keeps the adventure plot whizzing along even as she deepens our sense of the characters and the unfamiliar culture they have to navigate.” (Fresh Air, NPR)
"Meloy is a subtle and sophisticated writer…Meloy pokes around in some profound subject matter...[her] portrait of well-meaning but still ugly Americans resonates.” (New York Times)
“[Do Not Become Alarmed has] characters that are fully rendered and original, and writing that is beautifully spare and understated...while feeding us high drama.” (Los Angeles Review of Books)

Where does Do Not Become Alarmed rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I listen to books while driving long distance. Although this is about a very serious subject, I found it light and easy to listen to. If you don't want to think a lot but like a story line that is heavy, this is for you. Again, not on my top ten list but it heals my attention.Another enjoyable book.

As well, the reader’s (the author herself) reading voice has no emotion, is monotone, sounds bored and depressed with the content.
One of my least favorite reads ever.
Monotone, depressed delivery and (trigger warning)..young teen sexual assault by adult male
