From the Publisher
Described as "brilliant" and "mesmerizing," Audrey Schulman's debut novel, The Cage, revealed a talent as dazzling as the arctic landscape she so compellingly evoked. In her long-awaited follow-up, Schulman turns her darkly sensual eye on another exotic locale -a tropical Indonesian island-in a powerful and disturbing novel of a young woman's awakening.
From the Author
I grew up in a family of 3 pathologists. Dinner conversation in my family is commonly focused on exotic parasites, badly-stained biopsies, or awkward moments in the morgue fridge. These dinner conversations created in me a lifelong fascination with what it would be like to become a doctor. Swimming with Jonah
