У Кейси Пибоди с самой собой уговор: по утрам не думать о бесконечных долгах, о недавнем разрыве и о смерти матери. Ни о чем таком нельзя думать по утрам, чтобы удавалось писать. Кейси Пибоди тридцать один год, она работает официанткой, еле наскребает на съем крохотной комнатки в садовом сарае – и пишет роман. Уже шесть лет, как Кейси Пибоди пишет роман, в то время как почти все ее старые друзья уже оставили всякие дурацкие идеи о творческом самовыражении, взялись за ум и остепенились. Мир Кейси беспросветен, и еще больше он раскалывается на куски, когда она влюбляется одновременно в двоих очень разных мужчин… Однако постепенно, даже через пелену горя, Кейси начинает осознавать, что роман-то у нее, кажется, выходит стоящий. После «Эйфории», горячо принятой критиками и читателями, Лили Кинг написала блестящий роман о создании романа: сюжет, который мог бы показаться шаблонным, не будь Лили Кинг сама собой – умным, глубоким автором, одновременно нежным и бескомпромиссным, чутким и к печальному, и к смешному. Загнав одаренную, обаятельную и уязвимую героиню «Писателей и любовников» в ловушку, до боли знакомую столь многим творцам, Кинг увлекательно исследует тот самый разрыв между прошлым и будущим, когда все в жизни идет прахом, прежде чем распахивается дверь в нечто новое.

Когда жизнь человека заходит в тупик или исчерпывается буквально во всем, чем он до этого дышал, открывается особое время и пространство отчаяния и невесомости. Кейси Пибоди, одинокая молодая женщина, погрязшая в давних студенческих долгах и любовной путанице, неожиданно утратившая своего самого близкого друга - собственную мать, снимает худо-бедно пригодный для жизни сарай в Бостоне и пытается хоть как-то держаться на плаву - работает официанткой, выгуливает собаку хозяина сарая и пытается разморозить свои чувства. Есть у Кейси и повод наведаться к врачам. А сверх всего этого она - увлеченная начинающая писательница, и ей есть что…

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.

Prize-winning author Lily King’s masterful new novel spans three decades of a volatile relationship between a charismatic, alcoholic father and the daughter who loves him.

Gardiner Amory is a New England WASP who's beginning to feel the cracks in his empire. Nixon is being impeached, his wife is leaving him, and his worldview is rapidly becoming outdated. His daughter, Daley, has spent the first eleven years of her life negotiating her parents’ conflicting worlds: the liberal, socially committed realm of her mother and the conservative, decadent, liquor-soaked life of her father. But when they divorce, and Gardiner’s basest impulses are unleashed, the chasm quickly widens and Daley is stretched thinly across it.

As she reaches adulthood, Daley rejects the narrow world that nourished her father’s fears and prejudices, and embarks on her own separate life—until he hits rock bottom. Lured home by the dream of getting her father sober, Daley risks everything she's found beyond him, including her new love, Jonathan, in an attempt to repair a trust broken years ago.

A provocative story of one woman's lifelong loyalty to her father, Father of the Rain is a spellbinding journey into the emotional complexities and magnetic pull of family.

Lily King’s highly acclaimed, award-winning debut novel is the story of Rosie, an American au pair in Paris whose coming of age defies all our usual conceptions of naïveté and experience. Rosie is fleeing an unspeakable loss that has left her homesick for her family. As she awkwardly grasps for the words to communicate with and connect to Nicole, the cool, distant, and beautifully polished mother of the three children she cares for, Rosie’s bond with the patriarch of the household develops almost too naturally. When Lola, the middle child, begins to suspect an indecent intimacy between Rosie and her father, Rosie moves to the south of France to care for Nicole’s elderly guardian, the storyteller of the family’s secrets. There, she discovers a past darkened by war and duplicity, and finally comes to understand the tragedy behind Nicole’s elusive demeanor.

Award-winning author Lily King's Father of the Rain: spans three decades in a riveting psychological portrait of a wildly charismatic patriarch as seen through the eyes of his daughter. In her most ambitious novel to date, critically acclaimed author Lily King sets her sharply insightful family drama in an upper-middle-class East Coast suburb where she traces a complex and volatile father-daughter relationship from the 1970s to the present day. When 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…

Chosen by the Chicago Tribune and Publishers Weekly as one of the Best Novels of 2005, Lily King's new novel is a story about an independent woman and her fifteen-year-old son, and the truth she has long concealed from him. Fifteen years ago Vida Avery arrived alone and pregnant at elite Fayer Academy. She has since become a fixture and one of the best teachers Fayer has ever had. By living on campus, on an island off the New England coast, Vida has cocooned herself and her son, Peter, from the outside world and from an inside secret. For years she has lived largely through the books she teaches, but when she accepts the impulsive marriage proposal of ardent widower Tom Belou, the prescribed life Vida has constructed is swiftly dismantled.

This is a passionate tale of a mother and son's vital bond and a provocative look at our notions of intimacy, honesty, loyalty, and the real meaning of home. A triumphant and masterful follow-up to her multi-award-winning debut, The English Teacher confirms Lily King as one of the most accomplished and vibrant young voices of today.
