Book cover for Stewart O'Nan "Ocean State"
Grove Press

Stewart O’Nan’s latest novel “Ocean State” is a crushing, beautifully written, and compelling story about sisters, mothers, and daughters, and the terrible things love makes us do. The story is one of the build-up to and fall-out from a murder, told through the alternating perspectives of the four women at its heart.
