Housekeeping  Slate  Time Out  Chicago Public Library  Electric Lit  Bookreporter 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.” Summer
is coming to a close on the East End of Long Island  and Alex is no longer welcome. 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. 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. Taut  propulsive  and impossible to look away from 
Emma Cline’s The Guest is a spellbinding literary achievement.
