Siri Hustvedt's mesmerising second novel, longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction
LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION
FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF WHAT I LOVED
'A taut and convincing drama, as well as an intriguing metaphysical thriller' Sunday Times
'Full of humour, surprise and powerful images' Observer
Lily Dahl is a heroine of the old school: tough, beautiful and brave. A nineteen-year-old waitress and aspiring actress living in Webster, Minnesota, she becomes enchanted by an exotic outsider - an artist from New York. Drawn into a world of erotic adventure, she finds herself the target of mysterious acts of madness as she strains against the confines of small town life.
'Queasily erotic, gothic and menacing' Evening Standard
PRAISE FOR SIRI HUSTVEDT:
'Hustvedt is that rare artist, a writer of high intelligence, profound sensuality and a less easily definable capacity for which the only word I can find is wisdom' Salman Rushdie
'One of our finest novelists' Oliver Sacks
'Reading a Hustvedt novel is like consuming the best of David Lynch' Financial Times
'Few contemporary writers are as satisfying and stimulating to read as Siri Hustvedt' Washington Post
