2013 BOOK OF THE YEAR

The Ocean at the End of the Lane is the bestselling magical novel
from Neil Gaiman, one of the most brilliant storytellers of our
generation and author of the epic novel American Gods, and the
much-loved Sandman series. 'Possibly Gaiman's most lyrical, scary
and beautiful work yet. It's a tale of childhood for grown-ups, a
fantasy rooted in the darkest corners of reality' (Independent on
Sunday). If you loved the mesmerising world of Erin Morgenstern's
The Night Circus or were drawn into J.K. Rowling's magical
universe, this book is for you.

It began for our narrator forty years ago when the family lodger
stole their car and committed suicide in it, stirring up ancient powers
best left undisturbed. Dark creatures from beyond this world are on
the loose, and it will take everything our narrator has just to stay
alive: there is primal horror here, and menace unleashed - within his
family and from the forces that have gathered to destroy it.

His only defence is three women, on a farm at the end of the lane.
The youngest of them claims that her duckpond is an ocean. The
oldest can remember the Big Bang.

The Ocean at the End of the Lane is a fable that reshapes modern
fantasy: moving, terrifying and elegiac - as pure as a dream, as
delicate as a butterfly's wing, as dangerous as a knife in the dark.
