KAREN JAY FOWLER, author of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves
GOODHOUSE

But threat also lurks within.
To break out is to risk death.
To stay is worse.
Welcome to Goodhouse.
For boys with bad genes.
A bold and page-turning look into a plausible near-future - where genetic profiling is meant to prevent crime, but instead becomes a tool for oppression. If, one day, we can see into our genetic make-up – both the good and the bad - places like GOODHOUSE could be just around the corner ...

Recensione:
"A marvel - a glorious combination of page-turning literary thriller and challenging examination of freedom, destiny, and the thorny ideals of faith and science" (Eleanor Brown, NYT-bestselling author of THE WEIRD SISTERS)
"GOODHOUSE is thrilling and wonderful and dark" (Mark Childress, author of CRAZY IN ALABAMA)
"A page-turning account of one boy's journey through a vivid and dangerous world." (Karen Joy Fowler, author of WE ARE ALL COMPLETELY BESIDE OURSELVES)
"Peyton Marshall's debut is a page-turner of the highest order, the kind of book you don't want to finish but cannot stop reading." (James Scott, author of The Kept)
"This is one of the most intellectually thrilling and beautifully unsettling novels I've read in years." (Bret Anthony Johnston, author of Remember Me Like This and Corpus Christi)
"Like Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, Goodhouse is a gripping excursion to a vividly imagined and profoundly disturbing future. Peyton Marshall has written an unforgettable first novel, a work of striking originality, empathy and skill." (Jennifer Haigh, author of Faith)
"Goodhouse is a debut of extraordinary power and vision, and Peyton Marshall is a new voice for the ages." (Laura van den Berg, author of The Isle of Youth)
"Goodhouse grabbed me by the throat and lifted me off the ground and held me suspended there until its final sentence. Then the book began its real work on me: haunting my waking thoughts, invading my dreams. (...) This is an astonishing novel." (Antoine Wilson, author of Panorama City, and The Interloper)
"Magnificently written ...powerful" (New York Times Book Review)
"A fantastic cautionary tale that will leave you muttering "one more chapter" as the night stretches on. We highly recommend it" (SciFiNow)
