The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman
Harper Collins
Paperback
*Adam’s Pick!*
Have you ever picked up a book and just known it was going to be sad? Yeah, that’s how I felt when I opened this book. Gaiman’s fantasy is successful because it hums and resonates with true humanity and this book is a perfect example. If you’re new to Gaiman, Kristen suggests her favorite, Anansi Boys as a starting point, but I disagree. Try Ocean. It’s short, contains a little bit of everything Gaiman is famous for, and it is incredibly moving. This book will make you feel the feels, y’all.
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman, a haunting novel that explores the awesome power of memory, friendship, and sacrifice―one of ten classic Gaiman works repackaged with elegant original watercolor art by acclaimed artist Henry Sene Yee
A novel about the truths—some wonderful, some terrible—that children know and adults do not. —Time Magazine
Returning to his childhood home to attend a funeral, a middle-aged man is drawn back to a place once alive with monsters and magic; to a past where the impossible is all too frighteningly real .
A haunting meditation on memory, wonder, friendship, and sacrifice, The Ocean at the End of the Lane, which was named “Book of the Year” by the UK National Book Awards, is a groundbreaking triumph of storytelling as delicate as a butterfly’s wing and as menacing as a knife in the dark.
Wondrous, imaginative, impossible, and at times deeply scary, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is classic Neil Gaiman and has captured the hearts of readers everywhere.
