The sky is clear, the waters calm, and guests are jovial as the exclusive cruise ship, the Aurora, begins her voyage in the picturesque North Sea. At first, nothing is amiss: the cabins are plush, the dinner parties are sparkling, and the guests are elegant. But as the week wears on, frigid winds whip the deck, gray skies fall, and Lo witnesses what she can only describe as a dark and terrifying nightmare: a woman being thrown overboard. But all passengers remain accounted for, or are they?

Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis—that of poor, white Americans.
