Lisey's Story is definitely not the kind of novel you think of when you think of Stephen King. Sure, there is some supernatural stuff, but at the heart this is a love story, and a wonderful one at that.
Lisey recently lost her famous writer husband and is only now starting to feel ready to face what’s been left behind of his body of work. The task will result in a lot of heartache for her, thanks to countless memories of their past together -- and a big unspoken secret.
I dove into this book expecting the usual supernatural/horror fare from King and found myself transported instead to a wonderful world where I got to know this character, Lisey, pretty well, and started to really care for her and about what was happening to her.
King is one of my favorite writers and this book, ready superbly well by Mare Winningham, simply reinforced that feeling.
