The Guest Zusammenfassung

The Guest: The compulsive new novel from the bestselling author of THE GIRLS Emma Cline

* 'Addictive' STYLIST Books to Look Out For 2023 * 'Destined to be the status read of 2023' HARPER'S BAZAAR BEST NEW FICTION * 'The perfect summer read' CULTURE WHISPER *

Summer is coming to a close on Long Island, and Alex is no longer welcome...

One misstep at a dinner party and the older man she's been staying with dismisses her with a ride to the train station and a ticket back to the city. With few resources, but a gift for navigating the desires of others, Alex stays on the island. She drifts like a ghost through the gated driveways and sun-blasted dunes of a rarefied world, trailing destruction in her wake.

Taut, sensual and impossible to look away from, The Guest captures the latent heat and potential danger of a summer that could go either way for a young woman teetering on the edge.

Drawing the reader inexorably on to the heightened, rug-pulling denouement, this is beach reading at its finest -- Stephanie Cross * Daily Mail *
Every sentence as sharp as a scalpel . . . tantalizing -- Liska Jacobs * New York Times Book Review *
At once chilling and eminently evocative of the rarefied world it portrays . . . a definite contender for Status Vacation Book of 2023 * Vogue *
