Staff Reviews
I ate up this novella in which a woman heads out on vacation and dies by the end of the first day. A simple premise, an intriguing narrator, and an unpredictable protagonist make this little book absolutely wild, and a stunner that's worth reading in a sitting.
— MaritzaDescription
The Driver’s Seat, Spark’s own favorite among her many novels, was hailed by the New Yorker as “her spiny and treacherous masterpiece.”
Driven mad by an office job, Lise flies south on holiday — in search of passionate adventure and sex. In this metaphysical shocker, infinity and eternity attend Lise’s last terrible day in the unnamed southern city that is her final destination.
