<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Every marriage has two hearts, one light and one dark, and Lisey Landon must confront both. King's most personal and powerful book to date is about the wellsprings of creativity, the temptations of madness, and the secret language of love.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>*Now an Apple TV+ limited series starring Julianne Moore and Clive Owen*</b> <p/><b>The "haunting...tender, intimate book that makes an epic interior journey" (<i>The New York Times</i>), <i>Lisey's Story</i> is a literary masterpiece--an extraordinarily moving and haunting portrait of a marriage and its aftermath.</b> <p/>Lisey lost her husband Scott two years ago, after a twenty-five year marriage of profound and sometimes frightening intimacy. Scott was an award-winning, bestselling novelist and a very complicated man. Early in their relationship, before they married, Lisey knew there was a place Scott went--a place that both terrified and healed him, could eat him alive or give him the ideas he needed in order to live. Now it's Lisey's turn to face Scott's demons, to go to that terrifying place known as Boo'ya Moon. What begins as a widow's effort to sort through the papers of her celebrated husband becomes a nearly fatal journey into the darkness he inhabited. <p/> "Intricate...exhilarating" (<i>The New Yorker</i>), perhaps Stephen King's most personal and powerful novel ever, Lisey's Story is about the wellsprings of creativity, the temptations of madness, and the secret language of love. It is a beautiful, "rich portrait of a marriage, and the complicated affection that outlives death" (<i>The Washington Post</i>).<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<i>Lisey's Story</i> is a wondrous novel of marriage, a love story steeped in strength and tenderness, and cast with the most vivid, touching, and believable characters in recent literature. I came to adore Lisey Landon and her sisters, I ached for Scott and all he'd been through, and when I finally reached the bittersweet and heartfelt conclusion, my first thought was that I wanted to start over again from the beginning, for it felt as if I were saying good-bye to old friends. This is Stephen King at his finest and most generous, a dazzling novel that you'll thank yourself for reading long after the final page is turned."<br> <b><i>--</i>Nicholas Sparks, author of <i>At First Sight</i> and <i>The Notebook</i></b><br><br>"In <i>Lisey's Story</i>, Stephen King makes bold, brilliant use of his satanic storytelling gift, his angelic ear for language, and, above all, his incomparable ability to find the epic in the ordinary, to present us with the bloody and fabulous tale of an ordinary marriage. In his hands, the long, passionate union of Scott and Lisey Landon -- of any long-lived marriage, by implication -- becomes a fantastic kingdom, with its own geography and language, its dark and stirring chronicle of heroes and monsters, its tragedies, griefs, and glories. King has been getting me to look at the world with terror and wonder since I was fifteen years old, and I have never been more persuaded than by this book of his greatness."<br> <b><i>--</i>Michael Chabon, author of <i>The Final Solution: A Story of Detection</i> and <i>The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay</i></b><br><br>"With Lisey's Story, King has crashed the exclusive party of literary fiction, and he'll be no easier to ignore than Carrie at the prom.""<br> <b>--Ron Charles, The Washington Post</b> <p/> "Haunting... A tender, intimate book that makes an epic interior journey."<br> <b><i>--The New York Times</i></b> <p/> "[An] intricate... novel, King explores two hidden worlds... [and] reveals, with subtle precision, the profound strangeness of widowhood, when someone who was present for so much of a shared life is gone."<br> <b><i>--The New Yorker</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Stephen King is the author of more than sixty books, all of them worldwide bestsellers.
