Death and the Seaside by Alison Moore (9781771962766)

Description - Death and the Seaside by Alison Moore

A story of vulnerability and manipulation, this is Moore's first novel published in the US since The Lighthouse, which sold over 100,000 copies in the UK and was shortlisted for The Man Booker Prize in 2012 and chosen as a New York Times Book Review Editor's Pick upon its 2017 release in the US, where it has sold over 3,500 copies.
We think this will be her best-selling US title to date--it's literary, with aspects of metafiction, yet accessible to a broad audience: a tightly-structured failure-to-launch narrative engaged in contemporary issues of female vulnerability and power and timeless questions of fate and free will.
Moore's writing has been compared to Shirley Jackson's in its economy, precision, and disorienting way of cracking reality, as one critic put it.
Death and the Seaside has also been well-received in the UK, with The Guardian calling it: "Dense, complex, thought-provoking, it manages to be at once a fairytale and a philosophical treatise, high-octane thriller and literary interrogation."
