Die Einladung heißt das Buch, aber eigentlich lädt sich die Ich-Erzählerin des Buches überall selbst ein. Humorvoll und trotzdem tief reflektierend über eine junge Frau, die sich und ihre Heimat verloren hat und jetzt ein immerwährender Gast in den Leben anderer ist.
Ausverkauft, aber heiß begehrt!

"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 rarified 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"-- Provided by publisher
