THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
'A masterfully executed ace'
- GUARDIAN
'Sophisticated... scrutinises the peeling paint of picket-fence America'
- THE TIMES
'Sharply funny, beautifully told and so moving on the way life can upend itself in a single moment. I adored it'
- CLARE LESLIE HALL, author of BROKEN COUNTRY
'Effortless, emotional, gripping. The most propulsive novel I've read in ages'
- JENNY JACKSON, author of PINEAPPLE STREET, Stylist
'Impossible to put down'
- GILLIAN McALLISTER, author of WRONG PLACE WRONG TIME
1978. In the sleepy New York suburb of Tallmadge, eighteen-year-old Mira Winston is beguiling, talented, and full of youthful recklessness. She spends her summer perfecting her swing at her parents' country club - and continuing her long-running affair with her father's golf buddy, a married man twice her age.
Then, one August afternoon, a freak accident occurs, and Mira's classmate Kenny is killed. In the days and years that follow, the events of that day become inextricably tied to the choices she has made - with devastating, unpredictable consequences for her family, her neighbours and friends, and Mira herself.
She is forced to ask: what happens when one small moment - the swing of a golf club, a stolen kiss, a hastily written note - changes the course of an entire life?
Mesmerizing and darkly funny, The Amateur unravels against a backdrop of white-picket-fenced streets, university dorm rooms, smoke-filled restaurants, and elegant country clubs. Turning a sharp eye to the American middle class, it is a hypnotic tale of power, morality, and the weight of blame.
