<p><b>THE <i>NEW YORK TIMES </i>BESTSELLER</b></p><p>'A masterfully executed ace'<br><i>GUARDIAN</i></p><p><b>'Sophisticated . . . scrutinises the peeling paint of picket-fence America'</b><br><i>THE TIMES</i></p><p><b>'Sharply funny, beautifully told and so moving on the way life can upend itself in a single moment. I adored it'</b><br>CLARE LESLIE HALL, author of BROKEN COUNTRY</p><p><b>'Effortless, emotional, gripping.

In the sleepy New York suburb of Tallmadge, eighteen-year-old Mira Winston is beguiling, talented, and full of youthful recklessness. She spends her summer perfecting her swing at her parents' country club - and continuing her long-running affair with her father's golf buddy, a married man twice her age.</p><p>Then, one August afternoon, a freak accident occurs, and Mira's classmate Kenny is killed. In the days and years that follow, the events of that day become inextricably tied to the choices she has made - with devastating, unpredictable consequences for her family, her neighbours and friends, and Mira herself.</p><p>She is forced to ask: what happens when one small moment - the swing of a golf club, a stolen kiss, a hastily written note - changes the course of an entire life?</p><p><b>Mesmerizing and darkly funny, <i>The Amateur </i>unravels against a backdrop of white-picket-fenced streets, university dorm rooms, smoke-filled restaurants, and elegant country clubs. Turning a sharp eye to the American middle class, it is a hypnotic tale of power, morality, and the weight of blame.</b></p><p><i>PRAISE FOR CHRIS BOHJALIAN</i></p><p>'A terrific writer . . . I love all his books' <b>HARLAN COBEN</b><br>'Impossible to put down. Bohjalian just gets better and better' <b>JODI PICOULT</b><br>'A real page-turner' <b>DIANA GABALDON</b
