Five Tuesdays In Winter by Lily King
Synopsis.
By the award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of Writers & Lovers, Lily King’s first-ever collection of exceptional and innovative short stories
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.
The Review
Do you know what month has five Tuesdays?
Ha, November 2021 does!
Sometimes I read too fast. This is one of those cases. Finished in under 24 hours I wish I had given it at least a week. Good luck if you can.
Read by a cast, a slew of favorite narrators, I got on the Lily King bus and did not want to get off…
!0/10 recommend the audiobook.
My favorite story and performance was the namesake, FIVE TUESDAYS IN WINTER. This is my first Lily King and I’m now like a literary detective and need to know if her first book of stories had a theme like this one did.
I am a Fan!
Her writing is quick, simple, straightforward, but still romantic, and thoughtful, and sweeping. I don’t know how she does that!!??
I’ll have to check my Goodreads shelf but this might be my highest-rated short story collection ever!
What a pleasure!
