»Herz König« Eine Lesung mit Lily King

She’s studying literature; she knows how good love stories work—secrets, highs, and lows. But she’s experienced the greatest love story herself, and it doesn’t follow any rules.

In her final year of college, she meets two highly gifted students, Sam and Yash, who sweep her into an exhilarating world of books, fast-paced verbal sparring, and boisterous card games. A deep friendship develops, one that teeters between love and dangerous attraction. Decades later, she is a successful writer, living a good life with her husband and two children—until an unexpected visit takes her back to the past and forces her to confront the far-reaching decisions of her youth. “King of Hearts” (C.H. Beck // Translated from the English by Eva Bonné) is a moving tribute to first love and showcases Lily King at the height of her art—as a masterful chronicler of human experience and one of the most compelling voices in contemporary literature.
