About the Book

'Thrilling and propulsive, glorious and terrifying. Julia Phillips is a brilliant writer' Ann Patchett They were sisters and they would last past the end of time. Sam and Elena dream of another life. On the island off the coast of Washington where they were born and raised, they and their mother struggle to survive. Sam works on the ferry that delivers wealthy mainlanders to their vacation homes while Elena does bar work at the local golf club, but even together they can't earn enough to get by, stirring their frustration about the limits that shape their existence. Then one night on the boat, Sam spots a bear swimming the dark waters of the channel. Where is it going? What does it want? When the bear turns up by their home, Sam, terrified, is more convinced than ever that it's time to leave the island. But Elena responds differently to the massive beast. Enchanted by its presence, she throws into doubt the desire to escape and puts their long-held dream in danger. A story about the bonds of sisterhood and the mysteries of the animals that live among us - and within us - Bear is a propulsive, mythical, richly imagined novel from one of the most acclaimed young writers at work today.

Review :
Extraordinary. A short-storylike, fairytale level of intensity sustained across a novel. Completely convincing and unexpected Wondrous. An addictive and revelatory read. I couldn't put it down Phillips smartly keeps us guessing whether the fantastical creature ultimately sees Elena as friend or feast . . . Bear ends with a bang, and with the intriguing notion that sisterhood (or sisters?) may be as unknowable and unpredictable as anything else in nature A bold and brilliant modern fable of sisterhood, class, and our relationship to the natural world A wondrous second book-a fairy tale for the strange times in which we live A story of sisterhood, daughterhood, care, and devotion, Bear will capture your heart and mind. I read in a state of wonder In prose of surpassing beauty, Julia Phillips collapses the boundaries between species, communities, and sisters. Bear is magical, suspenseful, heartbreaking, and humane. It is the most moving, most accomplished work of fiction I've read in ages Intense, moody, fierce, and relentlessly suspenseful A haunting fable . . . I was spellbound Bearis the brutal cage of the real world and the magical animal within-a book of untamed, glorious, abundant interpretations I read Bear in one night and I am in awe Beautiful and haunting . . . This is brilliant A fantabulous delight Wondrous. An addictive and revelatory read. I couldn't put it down.
