Publisher's Summary

The instant number one New York Times best seller

The stunning new novel from the best-selling author of global phenomenon Tuesdays with Morrie.

Adrift in a raft after a terrible shipwreck, 10 strangers struggle to survive while they wait for rescue.

After three days, short on water, food and hope, they spot a man floating in the waves.

They pull him on board - and the survivor claims he can save them.

But should they put their trust in him?

Will any of them see home again?

And why did the ship really sink?

The Stranger in the Lifeboat is not only a deeply moving novel about the power of love and hope in the face of danger but also a mystery that will keep you guessing to the very end.

Easy to read. It is written in a way it’s easy to imagine every character from the book.
You start the book and won’t be able to stop until you finish it.
It is special.
