Remarkable . . . wrenchingly, gorgeously elegiac. . . . [I]n The Ocean at the End of the Lane, [Gaiman] summons up childhood magic and adventure while acknowledging their irrevocable loss, and he stitches the elegiac contradictions together so tightly that you won t see the seams. --Star Tribune (Minneapolis) on THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE"
Gaiman has crafted an achingly beautiful memoir of an imagination and a spellbinding story that sets three women at the center of everything. . . .[I]t s a meditation on memory and mortality, a creative reflection on how the defining moments of childhood can inhabit the worlds we imagine. --Journal Sentinel (Milwaukee, WI)"
His prose is simple but poetic, his world strange but utterly believableif he was South American we would call this magic realism rather than fantasy. --The Times (London) on THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE"
[W]orthy of a sleepless night . . . a fairy tale for adults that explores both innocence lost and the enthusiasm for seeing what s past one s proverbial fence . . . Gaiman is a master of creating worlds just a step to the left of our own. --USA Today on THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE"

Ocean is a novel to approach without caution; the author is clearly operating at the height of his career. --The Atlantic Wire on THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE"
Ocean has that nearly invisible prose that keeps the focus firmly on the storytelling, and not on the writing. . . . This simple exterior hides something much more interesting; in the same way that what looks like a pond can really be an ocean. --io9"
This slim novel, gorgeously written, keeps its talons in you long after you ve finished. --New York Post on THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE"

UK National Book Awards 2013 "Book of the Year"
Fantasy of the very best. Wall Street Journal
A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock, and her mother and grandmother. He hasn t thought of Lettie in decades, and yet as he sits by the pond (a pond that she d claimed was an ocean) behind the ramshackle old farmhouse where she once lived, the unremembered past comes flooding back. And it is a past too strange, too frightening, too dangerous to have happened to anyone, let alone a small boy.
A groundbreaking work as delicate as a butterfly s wing and as menacing as a knife in the dark, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is told with a rare understanding of all that makes us human, and shows the power of stories to reveal and shelter us from the darkness inside and out.
[Gaiman s] mind is a dark fathomless ocean, and every time I sink into it, this world fades, replaced by one far more terrible and beautiful in which I will happily drown. New York Times Book Review"
