Description:

For readers of Ian McEwan, Paul Auster, and J.M. Coetzee, **In a Strange Room** is the intricate, psychologically intense, and deeply personal book of fiction from the internationally acclaimed, Man Booker Prize-shortlisted author of **The Good Doctor**. A young man named Damon takes three journeys, through Greece, India, and Africa. To those who travel with him and those whom he meets on the way — including a handsome enigmatic stranger, a group of careless backpackers, and a woman on the edge — he is the Follower, the Lover, and the Guardian. Yet, despite the man's best intentions, each journey ends in disaster. Together, these three journeys will change his whole life. A book of longing and thwarted desire, rage and compassion, **In a Strange Room** is the hauntingly beautiful evocation of one man's search for love and a place to call home. **
