The Ocean at the End of the Lane

See the full ranking

The Ocean at the End of the Lane was a #1 New York Times bestseller. A man returns to his childhood home and finds himself standing at the end of the lane by the old farmhouse where Lettie Hempstock used to live. 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—the strange events of that summer, the day the man took his own life in the car, come flooding back. And along with memories of Lettie herself, a creature not entirely human, and her mother and grandmother, the only three women in the world who could help him. It is a tale of mystery and survival, memory and magic, that makes the impossible all too real.
