From the mind that penned New York Times bestsellers Euphoria and Writers & Lovers, Lily King’s powerful selection of short stories will leave you breathless. Both intimate and raw, each chapter focuses on a different character, drawn from all ages and walks of life, experiencing joy, grief, violence, and the blossoming of love. King’s literary mastery is built on the foundations of beautifully flawed characters that stay with us long after the last page has been turned; from a lonely teenage boy who finds true family with an unlikely college duo to an elderly man who picks a fight with the universe while at his granddaughter’s hospital bedside. Crafted with mesmerising prose and unflinching honesty, Five Tuesdays in Winter is short fiction at its best.
