The
White Lotus
in this surprising and suspenseful literary thriller and modern gothic story following a couple running from both secretive pasts and very present dangers while honeymooning on a Greek island.
Fantastically gripping...this is fiction roaring on all cylinders. The Guardian
A work of peculiar gonzo genius...Thomas takes a glamorous late-capitalist setting, with rosé and catamarans...and warps it into a story that is surprising, humane and political to its bones. The New York Times
Still reeling from the chaos of their wedding, Evelyn and Richard arrive on a tiny Greek island for their honeymoon. It's the end of the season and a storm is imminent. Determined to make the best of it, they check into the sun-soaked rooms of Villa Rosa. Already feeling insecure after seeing the beautiful people, the seemingly endless number of young models and musicians lounging along the Mediterranean, Evelyn is wary of the hotel's owner, Isabella, who seems to only have eyes for Richard.
Isabella ostensibly disapproves of every request Evelyn makes, seemingly annoyed at the fact that they are there at all. Isabella is also preoccupied with her chance to enthrall the only other guestsan American producer named Marcus and his partner Debbiewith the story of the sleepwalkers, a couple who had stayed at the hotel recently and drowned.
Everyone seems to want to talk about the sleepwalkers, save for Hamza, a young Turkish man Evelyn had seen with some of the beautiful people, as well as the dapper little manthe strange yet fashionable owner of the island's lone antiques and gift shop she sees everywhere.
But what at first seemed eccentric, decorative, or simply ridiculous, becomes a living nightmare. Evelyn and Richard are separated the night of the storm and forced to face dark truths, but it's their confessions around the origins of their relationship and the years leading up to their marriage that might save them.
Vibey, dark, and weird (Allie Rowbottom, author of Aesthetica), and also very funny, The Sleepwalkers asks urgent questions about relationships, sexuality, and the darkest elements of contemporary societywhere our most terrible secrets are hidden in plain sight.
