Omtalad amerikansk roman om en ung kvinnas sökande efter sin väg i livet
31-åriga Casey har nyss flyttat hem till Boston, skuldsatt och med krossat hjärta. Som i en bubbla rör hon sig mellan restaurangen där hon jobbar som servitris och trädgårdsskjulet som hon kallar sitt hem. Den enda fasta punkten i hennes liv är romanen som hon skrivit på i sex år.
Trots att de flesta av hennes vänner gett upp sina författardrömmar, fortsätter Casey kämpa med att balansera skrivandet och livet. När hon träffar både den unga konstnärssjälen Silas och den äldre författaren Oscar, befinner hon sig plötsligt i ett vägskäl mellan två helt olika relationer, och två helt olika liv.
Skriva & älska utforskar både kvinnligt konstnärskap och det skrämmande och spännande språnget mellan slutet på en fas i livet och början på en annan.
"Efter de första sju raderna är jag fast. Det här är en oemotståndlig bok - rolig, klok, hjärtskärande och romantisk, skriven på ett språk som är en ren njutning. /.../ Insiktsfullt om konstnärskap, kärlek och vägval." - Ingalill Mosander, Aftonbladet
"Mycket fin roman om konsten att vara kvinnlig konstnär (författare), och den svåra konsten att välja rätt väg i livet!" - Femina
"Inspirerande /.../ en smart relationsroman" - Johanna Lundin, SVT Go'kväll "Jag älskade den här boken från första stycket ... ärligt, fängslande och insiktsfullt om kreativitet och livet" - Curtis Sittenfeld

';Haunting, incisive...King is brilliant.' Elle ';An absorbing, insightful story written in cool, polished prose right to the last conflicted line.' The Washington Post ';Spellbinding...You won't be able to stop reading this book, but when you do finally finish the last delicious page and look up, you will see families in a clearer and more forgiving way.' Vanity FairWhen eleven-year-old Daley Amory's mother leaves her father, Daley is thrust into a chaotic adult world of competition, indulgence, and manipulation. Unable to place her allegiance, she gently toes the thickening line between her parents' incompatible worlds: the increasingly liberal, socially committed realm of her mother, and the conservative, liquor-soaked life of her father. But without her mother there to keep him in line, Daley's father's basest impulses and quick rage are unleashed, and Daley finds herself having to choose her own survival over the father she still deeply loves. As she grows into adulthood, Daley retreats from the New England country-club culture that nourished her father's fears and addictions, and attempts to live outside of his influence. Until he hits rock bottom. Faced with the chance to free her father from sixty years worth of dependency, Daley must decide whether repairing their badly broken relationship is worth the risk of losing not only her professional dreams, but the love of her life, Jonathan, who represents so much of what Daley's father claims to hate, and who has given her so much of what he could never provide. A provocative and masterfully told story of one woman's life-long, primal loyalty to her father, Father of the Rain is a spellbinding journey into the emotional complexities, mercurial contours, and magnetic pull of families. - LjudbokEngelska, 2020

“I loved this book not just from the first chapter or the first page but from the first paragraph… The voice is just so honest and riveting and insightful about creativity and life.” —Curtis Sittenfeld
Following the breakout success of her critically acclaimed and award-winning novel Euphoria, Lily King returns with an unforgettable portrait of an artist as a young woman.
Blindsided by her mother’s sudden death and wrecked by a recent love affair, Casey Peabody has arrived in Massachusetts in the summer of 1997 without a plan. Her mail consists of wedding invitations and final notices from debt collectors. A former child golf prodigy, she now waits tables in Harvard Square and rents a tiny, moldy room at the side of a garage where she works on the novel she has been writing for six years. At thirty-one, Casey is still clutching onto something nearly all her old friends have let go of: the determination to live a creative life. When she falls for two very different men at the same time, her world fractures even more. Casey’s fight to fulfill her creative ambitions and balance the conflicting demands of art and life is challenged in ways that push her to the brink.
Writers & Lovers follows Casey―a smart and achingly vulnerable protagonist―in the last days of a long youth, a time when every element of her life comes to a crisis. Written with King’s trademark humor, heart, and intelligence, Writers & Lovers is a transfixing novel that explores the terrifying and exhilarating leap between the end of one phase of life and the beginning of another.

Lily King is one of our great literary treasures.Madeline Miller
From the New York Times bestselling author of Writers & Lovers comes an intimate and sweeping new novel of love and friendshipa journey into the heart of youth and middle age, desire and loss, and the intricate bonds that shape our lives
Our bright narrator is a college senior quietly dreaming of becoming a writer when she meets Sam and Yash, best friends and the golden boys of the English Department. Top-of-the-class Honors students, they live at the stately home of a favorite professor on sabbatical and can banter about Joyce and Fitzgerald like a game of rapid-fire tennis. The two nickname her Jordan and invite her into their magnetic world where her college experience is forever altered. As graduation approaches, the lines between love and friendship blur, and Jordan finds herself caught in a life-changing triangle.
Decades later, her writing career is thriving, but motherhood is full of challenges. When she receives unexpected news that brings the past crashing into the present, Jordan returns to a world she thought she left behind. Written with the superb wit and emotional sensitivity fans and critics have come to adore, King explores a tangled lattice of friendship, love, family and uncertainty that celebrates how we love, who we love, and all the complexity a single heart can hold.

Award-winning Lily King’s first-ever collection of exceptional and innovative short stories
With Writers & Lovers and Euphoria, Lily King’s books catapulted onto bestseller and best-of-the-year lists across the country and established her as one of our most “brilliant” (New York Times), “wildly talented” (Chicago Tribune), and beloved authors in contemporary fiction. Now, for the first time ever, King collects ten of her finest short stories—half published in leading literary magazines and half brand new—opening fresh realms of discovery for avid and new readers alike.
Told in the intimate voices of unique and endearing characters of all ages, these tales explore desire and heartache, loss and discovery, moments of jolting violence, and the inexorable tug toward love at all costs. A bookseller’s unspoken love for his employee rises to the surface, a neglected teenage boy finds much-needed nurturing from an unlikely pair of college students hired to housesit, a girl’s loss of innocence at the hands of her employer’s son becomes a catalyst for strength and confidence, and a proud nonagenarian rages helplessly in his granddaughter’s hospital room. Romantic, hopeful, brutally raw, and unsparingly honest, some even slipping into the surreal, these stories are, above all, about King’s enduring subject of love.
Lily King’s literary mastery, her spare and stunning prose, and her gift for creating lasting and treasured characters is on full display in this curated selection of short fiction. Five Tuesdays in Winter showcases an exhilarating new form for this extraordinarily gifted author writing at the height of her career.
