A New York TimesNotable Book: An "ingeniously plotted" tale of tragedy, comedy, and small-town gossip (The New York Times Book Review).

The quiet English town of Ennistone is known for its peaceful, relaxing spa -- a haven of restoration, rejuvenation, and calm. Until the night George McCaffrey's car plunges into the cold waters of the canal, carrying with it his wife, Stella. And until the village's most celebrated son, famed philosopher John Robert Rozanov, returns home, upending the lives of everyone with whom he comes in contact.

Stirred up by talk of murder and morality, obsession and lust, religion and righteousness, the residents of Ennistone begin to spiral out of control, searching for answers and redemption for the sins of their peers -- and discovering more about themselves than they ever wanted to know.

With breakneck plotting and intricately flawed characters, The Philosopher's Pupil is a darkly humorous novel from the Man Booker Prize-winning author of The Sea, The Sea, masterfully exploring the human condition and the inherent blend of comedy and tragedy therein.
