Five Tuesdays in Winter

These stories, told in the intimate voices of distinct and fascinating characters of all ages, explore desire and heartbreak, loss and revelation, shocking brutality, and the inevitable pull toward love at all costs. A bookseller's unspoken love for his employee emerges, a neglected teenage boy receives 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 serves as a catalyst for strength and confidence, and a proud nonagenarian rages helplessly in his granddaughter's hospital room.

These stories are, above all, about King's eternal topic of love. They are romantic, optimistic, brutally raw, and unsparingly honest, and some even veer into the strange. This handpicked collection of short stories showcases Lily King's literary talent, her simple and exquisite style, and her ability for creating memorable and beloved characters. Five Tuesdays in Winter is a thrilling new form for an incredibly accomplished novelist who is at the pinnacle of her career.
