Goodreads Monday is a weekly feature hosted at Lauren’s page turners, which involves showing off a book from your TBR. My pick for the day is The Ocean at the end of the lane by Neil Gaiman.
Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper and resonated in unimaginable ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie—magical, comforting, wise beyond her years—promised to protect him, no matter what.
A groundbreaking work from a master,The Ocean at the End of the Lane is told with a rare understanding of all that makes us human, and shows the power of stories to reveal and shelter us from the darkness inside and out. It is a stirring, terrifying, and elegiac fable as delicate as a butterfly’s wing and as menacing as a knife in the dark.
Ooh, yes! I have read this one and I really, really enjoyed it! Hope you get a chance to give it a go soon!
