HTML:<b>NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A young woman pretends to be someone she isn’t in this “spellbinding” (<i>Vogue</i>), “smoldering” (<i>The Washington Post</i>) novel by the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Girls</i>.</b><br />  <br /> <b>“Under Cline’s command, every sentence as sharp as a scalpel, a woman toeing the line between welcome and unwelcome guest becomes a fully destabilizing force.”—<i>The New York Times</i></b><br /> <i>“Alex drained her wineglass, then her water glass. The ocean looked calm, a black darker than the sky. A ripple of anxiety made her palms go damp. It seemed suddenly very tenuous to believe that anything would stay hidden, that she could successfully pass from one world to another.”</i><br /> Summer is coming to a close on the East End of Long Island, and Alex is no longer welcome.<br /> A 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.<br /> With few resources and a waterlogged phone, but gifted with an ability to navigate the desires of others, Alex stays on Long Island and drifts like a ghost through the hedged lanes, gated driveways, and sun-blasted dunes of a rarefied world that is, at first, closed to her. Propelled by desperation and a mutable sense of morality, she spends the week leading up to Labor Day moving from one place to the next, a cipher leaving destruction in her wake.<br /> Taut, propulsive, and impossible to look away from, Emma Cline’s <i>The Guest</i> is a spellbinding literary achievement.
