The Deep End of the Ocean

Few first novels receive the kind of attention and acclaim showered on this powerful story - a nationwide bestseller, a critical success, and the first title chosen for Oprah's Book Club.

Both highly suspenseful and deeply moving, The Deep End of the Ocean imagines every mother's worst nightmare - the disappearance of a child - as it explores a family's struggle to endure, even against extraordinary odds.

Filled with compassion, humour and brilliant observations about the texture of real life, here is a story of rare power, one that will touch readers' hearts and make them celebrate the emotions that make us all one.
