The Ocean at the End of the Lane
A man returns to his childhood hometown to attend a funeral. While visiting the places where he and his sister used to play, his mind is captured by vivid memories: a dead man on the back seat of a car; a little girl who looks ancient; an old woman who saw the creation of the moon; a pretty housekeeper with a monstrous smile; dark forces that should have been left alone. These are the recollections of a man who thought he was lost, but maybe he’s remembering the time he was saved.

“The Ocean at the End of the Lane magnificently showcases the spell binding talent of Neil Gaiman. Its fairy tale quality with elements of good versus evil, lifts the story into the realms of magical realism, a literary genre associated with the great Gabriel Garcia Marquez. The Ocean at the End of the Lane is a novel of quality, elegance, and brilliance.”
