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. <br/> <br/>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. <br/> <br/>PRAISE FOR EMMA CLINE <br/> <br/>'Taut, beautiful and savage' GUARDIAN <br/> <br/>'So deft, with an undercurrent of unease' PANDORA SYKES <br/> <br/>'Stunning . . . thrilling . . . a spectacular achievement' THE TIMES <br/> <br/>'Cline's talent at uncovering the seedy and somehow bringing it to beautiful light is brilliant' <br/>DAISY JOHNSON <br/> <br/>'Something about Cline's intimate tone, her talent for conjuring the feeling of being alive, is entirely and uniquely her own' RACHEL KUSHNER <br/> <br/>'An astonishingly gifted stylist' BRANDON TAYLOR
