BookBar Presents... Emma Cline in conversation with Julia Armfield

Join Emma Cline, bestselling author of The Girls, in conversation with author Julia Armfield for an exclusive London event to celebrate Emma's next, brilliant novel The Guest.
 
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. Taut, sensual and impossible to look away from, The Guest captures the latent heat and potential danger of a summer that could go either way for a young woman teetering on the edge.
 
Emma Cline is the author of The Girls, the story collection Daddy, and The Guest. The Girls was an international bestseller and was a finalist for a National Book Critic's Circle Award, the First Novel Prize, and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, and was the winner of the Shirley Jackson Award.
