Ocean State is one of the six! Check it out at The New York Times.
OCEAN STATE, by Stewart O’Nan.
In the first line of this novel, its narrator announces that her teenage sister helped kill a local girl. What starts as a fast-paced thriller set in coastal Rhode Island morphs into a chilling novel about class, desperation and young love.
