The Guest
by Emma Cline· 2023
Following a young drifter on sun-drenched Long Island, The Guest is a story of desire, deception and risky choices. A young woman pretends to be someone she isn't.
Summer is coming to a close on Long Island, and Alex is no longer welcome... One 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, but a gift for navigating the desires of others, Alex stays on the island. She drifts like a ghost through the gated driveways and sun-blasted dunes of a rarefied world, trailing destruction in her wake.
