The World Cannot Give by Tara Isabella Burton publishes today from @SimonandSchuster! Fight Club meets a boarding school Bonnie and Clyde in this second novel from the brilliant, beautiful mind behind Social Creature and Strange Rites. Tara explores queer desire, religious zealotry, and the hunger for transcendence among the devoted members of a cultic chapel choir in a prestigious Maine boarding school—and the obsessively ambitious, terrifyingly charismatic girl that rules over them. “The Secret History meets The Price of Salt” —Vogue "Tara Isabella Burton harnesses the fresh desire of teenage-dom in this story of a boarding school on the coast of Maine: A charismatic, devout, and sexually ambiguous young choir member manipulates her acolytes—to fatal ends." —Vanity Fair "Equal parts dangerous and delicious" —Entertainment Weekly "This new novel from the author of Social Creature plunges readers into a vortex of dark academia and queer desire." —Harper's Bazaar
