| Summary |
"Aturdida por la repentina muerte de su madre y destrozada tras una aventura amorosa, Casey Peabody llega a Massachusetts en el verano de 1997 sin un plan en mente. La única correspondencia que recibe son invitaciones de boda y notificaciones de deudas. Casey, que una vez fue una niña prodigio del golf, ahora trabaja de camarera en un restaurante de Harvard Square y alquila una pequeña habitación donde se dedica a escribir una novela, a la que ha estado abocada desde hace seis años. A sus treinta y un años, sigue aferrándose a un ideal que muchos de sus amigos ya han abandonado: la intención de vivir de su creatividad. Y cuando se enamora de dos hombres completamente opuestos al mismo tiempo, su mundo se fractura todavía más. La lucha de Casey por mantener el equilibrio entre sus ambiciones creativas y las demandas de su vida personal la llevan a límites impensados." --Amazon.com |

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's 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. |
