The New York Times Instant Best Seller

“King is a master of sexual tension, of the slow build, of gratification torturously delayed…'Heart the Lover’ is her best work yet.”

––Lauren Christensen, The New York Times

“Only Lily King could tell a story so steeped in sorrow and so filled with hope."

— Ron Charles, The Washington Post

“It stands as one of the most emotionally devastating and soulfully wise novels I have ever read . . . Like all of King’s fiction, Heart The Lover is literary without pretension, emotional without maudlin sentimentality . . . heartrending, swoonily romantic, rigorously clear-sighted."

— Priscilla Gilmore, The Boston Globe
