'Dangerously readable' Observer
'Electrifying' Sunday Times
Novelist J.B. Blackwood is on a cruise with her husband, Patrick, to celebrate their wedding anniversary. Patrick is older than J.B., a revered film director and formerly her professor. J.B's art has been forever overseen by him, now it may overshadow his.
For days they sail in the sun, with nothing but dark water all around them. Then a storm hits, and Patrick falls off the ship.
J.B. is left alone, as the search for what happened to Patrick - and the truth about their marriage - begins.

Reseñas de la crítica
The Anniversary is a haunting mystery, sophisticated, subtle and subversive. Bishop considers the discipline, scrupulous and otherwise, required to make a marriage, as well as to make art, capturing the longing and the disappointment inherent in the attempt to make one's self known to others. (Susanna Moore, author of IN THE CUT)
The Anniversary is a disquieting, stunning book about marriage, art, power and creativity. (Anna Bonet)
As clever as it is delicious. A masterclass in layered sophistication . . . The Anniversary is a fully-realised literary achievement. From its sensuous sentences to its thrilling genre-craft to its timely cultural provocations. It is a book that could be read under a beach umbrella or in a university classroom (2024 Stella Prize Judges)
The Anniversary is a compulsive yet redemptive book layered with nuances that will have those new to Bishop's work hunting out her backlist. (Susie Mesure)
In The Anniversary Stephanie Bishop expertly and mercilessly builds an atmosphere of intense uncertainty and threat. You won't want to put it down. (Chris Power, author of MOTHERS)
Dangerously readable . . . If only all literary novels were this engaging and this perceptive about human nature (Alexander Larman)
Electrifying (Claire Lowdon)
With a unique style and descriptions so real you can feel the salt-spray drift from the page, The Anniversary draws you in. Addictive and dynamic. (Charlotte Roberts)
The dread that slowly creeps into your bones while reading The Anniversary is difficult to shake off, yet you cannot look away. I revelled in every bit of this astute, compelling, psychological novel. (Virginia Feito, author of MRS MARCH)
The sense of foreboding increases as the narrative progresses and I found it impossible to put down. It's excellent on how a partner's resentment can grow until it explodes as if from nowhere. It's also wonderful on writing itself and how our protagonists both enable and block each other's process. I adored it. (Sara Lawrence)
Nothing in this exquisitely twisted tale is quite what it seems. But though the cool, sharp, disenchanted narrator is not to be trusted, one thing about her is for real - her ability to say things so witty and so pungently true I kept turning down pages to mark them. If I kept a commonplace book I would have filled it with lines from this compelling novel about creativity and its discontents (Lucy Hughes-Hallett, author of THE PIKE)
I very much enjoyed The Anniversary. It put me in mind of Gone Girl and of Fleishman Is in Trouble too. It nails so much about how ruthless a writer of fiction needs to be both in relation to life and material (Polly Samson, author of A THEATRE FOR DREAMERS)
