In the first line of 'Ocean State', we learn that a high school student was murdered, and we find out who did it. The story that unfolds from there with incredible momentum is thus one of the build-up to and fall-out from the murder, told through the alternating perspectives of the four women at its heart. Angel, the murderer, Carol, her mother, and Birdy, the victim, all come alive on the page as they converge in a climax both tragic and inevitable. Watching over it all is the retrospective testimony of Angel’s younger sister Marie, who reflects on that doomed autumn of 2009 with all the wisdom of hindsight. (Verlagstext)

 

Westerley, eine kleine Arbeiterstadt in Westen der USA. Birdy und Angel verlieben sich beide in Myles, Sohn wohlhabender Eltern und ihre Hoffnung, aus der eigenen Perspektivlosigkeit auszubrechen. Doch Angel duldet keine Konkurrenz und ermordet ihre Widersacherin. Wie konnte es dazu kommen?
