“The Lifeboat traps the reader in a story that is exciting at the literal level and brutally moving at the existential. I read it in one go.” --Emma Donoghue, author of New York Times bestseller Room

“Charlotte Rogan uses a deceptively simple narrative of shipwreck and survival to explore our all-too-human capacity for self-deception.” --JM Coetzee, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and author of Waiting for the Barbarians

“What a splendid book. It rivets the reader’s attention, and at the same time it seethes with layered ambiguity.” --Hilary Mantel, Booker Prize-winning author of Wolf Hall

“The Lifeboat is a spellbinding and beautifully written novel, one that will keep readers turning pages late into the night.” --Tim O’Brien, author of The Things They Carried
