Los Angeles Times Book Prize nominee Ariel S. Winter
explores the secret legacy of an enigmatic family in this
thrillingly atmospheric novel with a compelling and
unexpected twist. Sapien is a relic of a bygone age,
searching for meaning in a world where his outdated
allegiances to a time long past have left him isolated and
hopeless. Seeking peace and quiet, he retires to a beach
house at Barren Cove, a stately Victorian manor even more
antiquated than he. He becomes increasingly fascinated
with the family whose lives are entwined with the home—angry
and rebellious Clark; flamboyant Kent; fragile, beautiful
Mary; and most of all, Beachstone, the mysterious man whose
history may hold all the answers Sapien has been searching
for. As Sapien unlocks their secret loves and betrayals, the
dangerous past of Barren Cove will indelibly change
him...and who he is fated to become. A brilliantly
imaginative and poignant tale in the tradition of Kazuo
Ishiguro and Neil Gaiman, Barren Cove is a luminous
and surprising exploration of legacy, loss, and humanity itself.
