We cannot wait for Schaitkin’s second novel, Elsewhere, to hit shelves in June 2022. The fateful encounter sets Claire on an obsessive quest for answers - not just about how her sister truly died, but about who she really was. Years later, a now adult Claire is still haunted by Alison’s unsolved death when she crosses paths with one of the men originally suspected of murdering her sister. The case captures media headlines as two local men are arrested and charged with murder - but with little evidence against them, they’re eventually released. Days later, Alison’s body turns up in a nearby cay. On the final night of the holiday, however, Claire’s older sister Alison disappears. The novel opens on the Caribbean island of Saint X, where young Claire and her family are enjoying a luxury beach vacation. Much like Little Fires Everywhere, the novel weaves together themes of grief, obsession, and privilege into a riveting narrative of family trauma and healing. Alexis Schaitkin’s debut was a New York Times Notable Book of 2020, and it’s easy to see why.
