Lisey's Story

*Soon to be an Apple TV+ limited series starring Julianne Moore and Clive Owen*

The &;haunting&;tender, intimate book that makes an epic interior journey&; (The New York Times), Lisey&;s Story is a literary masterpiece&;an extraordinarily moving and haunting portrait of a marriage and its aftermath.

Lisey lost her husband Scott two years ago, after a twenty-five year marriage of profound and sometimes frightening intimacy. Scott was an award-winning, bestselling novelist and a very complicated man. Early in their relationship, before they married, Lisey knew there was a place Scott went&;a place that both terrified and healed him, could eat him alive or give him the ideas he needed in order to live. Now it&;s Lisey&;s turn to face Scott&;s demons, to go to that terrifying place known as Boo&;ya Moon. What begins as a widow&;s effort to sort through the papers of her celebrated husband becomes a nearly fatal journey into the darkness he inhabited.

&;Intricate...exhilarating&; (The New Yorker), perhaps Stephen King&;s most personal and powerful novel ever, Lisey&;s Story is about the wellsprings of creativity, the temptations of madness, and the secret language of love. It is a beautiful, &;rich portrait of a marriage, and the complicated affection that outlives death&; (The Washington Post).
