Description

In this searing first-person account, nineteen-year-old Skyler Rampike recounts the unsolved murder of his sister, Bliss, and the unraveling of his family. As Skyler navigates the aftermath of tragedy, he exposes the hidden hypocrisies and dark secrets lurking beneath the polished surface of his upper-middle-class world. This novel is a powerful exploration of grief, memory, and the corrosive nature of unspoken truths, delivered with Oates' signature unflinching intensity. It is both a gripping investigation into a crime and a poignant elegy for lost innocence.
