Présentation de l'éditeur

Meg Landry took it for granted that it was to be a day like any other. Her asthmatic eight-year old son would step off the bus, home from school. But on this day, the boy on the bus is not Meg's son - or at least doesn't appear to be. He has a finer nose, his skin is shinier, and his face looks more mature, as if he has grown into being Charlie more than the real Charlie ever did. Neither Charlie's father nor his sister can confirm whether this boy is or is not Charlie. They look to Meg for certainty - after all, shouldn't a mother know her own child?
Now in paperback, one of the year's most acclaimed fiction debuts 'pulls a Henry James', according to New York Newsday, in a story that is 'minutely observed and subtly told'. A daringly innovative first novel, THE BOY ON THE BUS probes the depths of a family stretched out along the seams of post-modern, small-town life. A richly gifted wordsmith with the deftness of a premier suspense novelist, Deborah Schupack has created a tense and atmospheric combination of literary sophistication and page-turning readability.

Revue de presse

Entertainment Weekly Schupack's debut novel is at once familiar and eerie...a chillingly twisty psychological drama about love and need.

James Patterson Author of The Big Bad Wolf This is my favorite book this year -- an incredible page-turning idea, written with grace, style, and deep, true emotion.

Boston Herald Schupack snares readers in a disturbing book that's bound to make us ask questions not just about this mysterious situation, but about love and loss and the limits we all face in thoroughly knowing our children.

The New York Times Book Review Deborah Schupack's strange, unsettling, lyrical novel defies simple paraphrase....From beginning to end, nothing is ordinary, while at the same time everything is.
