Overview: “The first time Derek was ever afraid of the children was two or three weeks in, when Angelo screamed at them for ruining his life and headbutted the plate in front of him until it was shrapnel…”
Derek’s childhood sweetheart Sophie and her children, raw from tragedy, move from Canada to his home in England. There they attempt to forge a life together – but their new family is shadowed by grief, myth, and a lingering sense of the uncanny. Through shifting perspectives, from Jules, the delicate middle child, to fierce Ema, debut novelist Juliano Zaffino paints an unforgettable portrait of love, loyalty, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.
Blending psychological suspense with intimate family drama, and with echoes of Virginia Woolf and Shirley Jackson, The Steps is both deeply moving and eerily unsettling, a meditation on trauma, family bonds, and the thin line between tenderness and violence.
