"An excellent work of art... " - The New Statesman

At a dinner party on Long Island close to where Gatsby kept his dream, six people reveal themselves to each other and themselves in ways they can't control. Far from a quiet evening on the Sound, the drunken guests struggle toward a deeper connection with one another that seems just out of reach. From small acts and gestures to violence, they become who they are beneath the small talk, the fish fork, and the excellent selection from the wine cellar beneath the trap door in the dining room.

In A House on the Sound, international bestselling author Kathrin Perutz expertly reveals the desperate desire in all of us to find an intimate connection with someone, anyone, before it's too late. The perfect read for fans of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, where too late seems the most likely outcome...
