The Thomas family is vacationing at a resort on Saint X. On the last night of their stay, eighteen-year-old Alison goes missing. A few days later her body is found on Faraway Cay. Although two young employees at the resort are arrested, they are released due to lack of evidence.
Twenty years later, the elder Thomases have relocated to California, while their younger daughter, Emily (née Claire), is working in New York. One fateful day, Emily gets in a taxi and recognizes the name of the driver—Clive—one of the men accused of murdering her sister. She embarks on a journey of discovery, proving that she has never healed from her sister’s death. As her curiosity becomes obsession, she learns more about her sister, parents, and herself.
Saint X defies expectations. It shows the tragedy of conceits—particularly among young people, who care so much about how others see them. Clive is a tragic hero, who lets things happen to him. And Saint X, a fictional Caribbean island, is an evocative setting that shows how those conceits impact the trajectory of a region and its inhabitants. #SaintX #NetGalley
