DEATH AND THE SEASIDE
Book ID/图书代码： 11197516B89443
English Summary/英文概要： With an abandoned degree behind her and a thirtieth birthday approaching, amateur writer Bonnie Falls moves out of her parents’home into a nearby flat. Her landlady, Sylvia Slythe, takes an interest in Bonnie, encouraging her to finish one of her stories, in which a young woman moves to the seaside, where she comes under strange influences. As summer approaches, Sylvia suggests to Bonnie that, as neither of them has anyone else to go on holiday with, they should go away together – to the seaside, perhaps.
The new novel from the author of the Man Booker-shortlisted The Lighthouse is a tense and moreish confection of semiotics, suggestibility and creative writing with real psychological depth and, in Bonnie Falls and Sylvia Slythe, two unforgettable characters.

Awards/获奖情况：忧郁，令人难忘。文中的孤独感、不适和排斥的情绪是如此令人信以为真，低调的散文式的笔调也经过了细致的处理。这是一部拥有独特、令人不安的气氛的严肃小说。（Margaret Drabble）
让人回味的、成就很高的小说。（Katy Guest）
本书散文的笔调犹如Magnus Mills，使Moore的书从本质上脱颖而出，也让本书有了一个模棱两可的、惊心动魄的结束。（Philip Womack）
‘Melancholy and haunting. The sense of loneliness and discomfort and rejection is compelling, the low key prose carefully handled. It’s a serious novel with a distinctive and unsettling atmosphere.’ Margaret Drabble
‘A haunting and accomplished novel.’ Katy Guest
‘It is this accumulation of the quotidian, in prose as tight as Magnus Mills’s, which lends Moore’s book its standout nature, and brings the novel to its ambiguous, thrilling end.’ Philip Womack
‘The Lighthouse looks simple but isn’t, refusing to unscramble what seems a bleak moral about the hazards of reproduction, in the widest sense. Small wonder that it stood up to the crash-testing of a prize jury’s reading and rereading. One of the year’s 12 best novels? I can believe it.’ Anthony Cummins
On He Wants ‘Brave and rigorous’ Rachel Cusk, The Guardian
‘He Wants is a funny, touching, life-affirming novel about desire’ Anne Goodwin, Annecdotal
