The summer this came out, every linen-clad maniac was clutching this in their greasy hands on their morning stroll past The Golden Pear. A classic tale of a beautiful young woman just tipping her prime and freeloading with a boring older man. Our fearless heroine gets into all sorts of trouble, and what started out as a charmed vacation ends up becoming a horrific, picaresque nightmare. Read it if you like age-gap relationships or beautiful sentences about sand dunes.
The Guest is among Arielle Egozi's eight books about women being bad.
