A sleek thriller that will thrill fans of Leila Slimani's "Lullaby"... A warm read for the holidays.
An outstanding debut novel... Anyone who enjoyed "The White Lotus" will love Thomas's sharp critique of the mores and follies of the idle aristocracy.
A dark and excellent read. We believe this book will become a movie.
On a warm night in late March, an oligarch's wife hosts a party on a superyacht moored in the Maldives. The tables are filled with orchids, bottles of champagne, and name tags of celebrities. This is what Kata wanted for a long time: acceptance into the glamorous world of high society. But there are those who seek to oppose Kata and are closer than she could have imagined.
Witnessing the corruption and violence beneath the shiny surfaces is Mel, a young Englishwoman hired to teach Kata's privileged daughter and guide her through the social codes of the English aristocracy. Now, Mel approaches the privileged life only as a subordinate to the wealthy and is deeply discontented.
Well-written and deliciously unreliable, "Queen K" takes the reader to some of the world's most luxurious places. But a dark melody sounds from the beginning of the story and grows towards the operatic finale: a novel about inexhaustible material desire can only be a tragedy.
