A proposito di questo titolo
Toby's life was perfectly normal . . . until it was unravelled by something as simple as a blood test.
Taken from his family, Toby now lives in the Death House; an out-of-time existence far from the modern world, where he, and the others who live there, are studied by Matron and her team of nurses. They're looking for any sign of sickness. Any sign of their wards changing. Any sign that it's time to take them to the sanatorium.
No one returns from the sanatorium.
Withdrawn from his house-mates and living in his memories of the past, Toby spends his days fighting his fear. But then a new arrival in the house shatters the fragile peace, and everything changes.
Because everybody dies. It's how you choose to live that counts.

Recensioni della critica
shocking and gripping, albeit ultimately hopeful and utterly moving, and it's Sarah Pinborough's finest novel to date
A bleak but compulsive tale...The Death House could be her finest novel yet
The Death House is a stunning novel, and a harsh reminder that our lives are simply fragile, fleeting, heart-breaking and most likely destined to end long before we want
First things first: Sarah Pinborough's latest novel, The Death House, made me cry...The Death House is the best book you'll read in 2015, guaranteed, and Sarah Pinborough cements her place as one of our finest living novelists
The Death House is a dazzlingly emotional account of growing up, death and bits in between as well as an early contender for the book of the year
The Death House is something completely different and doesn't fall into one definite category. There are many thoughts underlying the storyline but the most prominent ones are an extraordinary love story...it won't let you go without breaking your heart
The attraction of The Death House is its tragedy. This book is bleak and horrible and you will love it
The Death House was a marvel of a read, beautifully emotional, so terribly addictive that I read it in one afternoon and just as a warning, will stomp all over your heart and make it bleed
Death becomes her - Sarah Pinborough's most powerful work to date
The Fault in Our Stars for the dystopian fan?....brilliantly written and moving, this is definitely recommended
The Death House is emotive, thoughtful and memorable - remarkably subversive in its complex nature all wrapped up in a superb ending" - one to read in 2015
Sarah Pinborough has created an incredible book with The Death House. Ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances highlighting the power of humanity....The writer's deft touch leaves the reader emotional. You might feel like your heart has been stomped on
The Death House is sad, stealthily creepy, emotionally haunting and quite brilliant
fascinating characters, sinister undertones and mysterious circumstances it makes for an incredibly addictive read
Sarah Pinborough has managed to write one of the saddest love stories I have read in a while, reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet by being tragic and yet also triumphant
Unsettling, frightening and in the end uplifting, The Death House has stayed with me
Impressive and moving
fascinating characters, sinister undertones and mysterious circumstances it makes for an incredibly addictive read
[Pinborough] deftly manages to pull elements from various places, from horror tropes to science fiction or thriller or crime and re-weaves them into something far more compelling... she also manages to craft a book which functions perfectly well as an engrossing tale for an adult or for a YA reader.
It surprised me, it warmed me, it charmed me and shocked me both, and it's brilliant.
