The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman
Sussex, England. A middle-aged man returns to
his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long
gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven,
he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock, and her mother and
grandmother. He hasn't thought of Lettie in decades, and yet as he sits by the
pond (a pond that she'd claimed was an ocean) behind the ramshackle old
farmhouse, the unremembered past comes flooding back. And it is a past too
strange, too frightening, too dangerous to have happened to anyone, let alone a
small boy.
Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at
the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper and
resonated in unimaginable ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and
thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie—magical, comforting,
wise beyond her years—promised to protect him, no matter what.
A groundbreaking work from a master, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is
told with a rare understanding of all that makes us human, and shows the power
of stories to reveal and shelter us from the darkness inside and out. It is a
stirring, terrifying, and elegiac fable as delicate as a butterfly's wing and
as menacing as a knife in the dark.
