Über diesen Titel

 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.

*Also an Apple TV+ limited series starring Julianne Moore and Clive Owen*

Lisey lost her husband Scott, 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, Lisey knew there was a place Scott went 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).©2006 Stephen King; (P)2006 Simon and Schuster Audio Belletristik Horror Mit Videospiel-, Film- & Fernsehbezug Thriller Übernatürliches

Kritikerstimmen

"Stephen King at his finest . . . a dazzling novel." -- Nicholas Sparks
"In Lisey's Story, Stephen King makes bold, brilliant use of his satanic storytelling gift, his angelic ear for language, and above all his incomparable ability to find the epic in the ordinary. . . ." -- Michael Chabon

Touching, deeply immersive, relevant and one of my personal all-time favorites. King at his best.

Beautiful, in every possible way.

It's strange to have a King without an open end. The plot is very complicated playing in the past, the past before past, and the present and started being boring. It took me some efforts to get through the beginning. But the book gains speed in the second half and even includes a psychopath who nonetheless does not play a very central role. Really annoying was the use of song titles and singers never heard of outside the USA before.

What a strange 'King'...

what a lovely heart wrenching novel, beautifully narrated. Glad I was not deterred by the slow build up

dark and beautiful

A very suspenseful read, the book hooked me from the beginning. It is the story of a widow, coping with the loss of her husband. In the course of the book she tells about her marriage, her husband, his childhood. An excellent Stephen King novel, if not his best to date. Mare Winningham does an wonderful job of narrating, giving not only the various characters in the novel distinctly different voices but also mastering the sometimes very different dialects of the characters.

Great Story, Wonderfully Read

Highly recommended! An amazing, imaginative story with deep roots in reality about love, mental health and family ties. And an outstanding performance by the the narrator.
