Her mail consists of wedding invitations and final notices from debt collectors. A former child golf prodigy, she now waits tables in Harvard Square and rents a tiny, moldy room at the side of a garage where she works on the novel she's been writing for six years. At thirty-one, Casey is still clutching onto something nearly all her old friends have let go the determination to live a creative life. When she falls for two very different men at the same time, her world fractures even more. Casey's fight to fulfil her creative ambitions and balance the conflicting demands of art and life is challenged in ways that push her to the brink.\n\nWriters \u0026amp; Lovers follows Casey--a smart and achingly vulnerable protagonist--in the last days of a long youth, a time when every element of her life comes to a crisis. Written with King's trademark humor, heart, and intelligence, Writers \u0026amp; Lovers is a transfixing novel that explores the terrifying and exhilarating leap between the end of one phase of life and the beginning of another.","brand":"BOOKSITE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45358928134259,"sku":"9781035090785","price":257.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2291\/7991\/files\/14428613482556.jpg?v=1789844194"},{"product_id":"9781035051137","title":"Father of the Rain","description":"Gardiner Amory's life is reeling - Nixon is being impeached, his wife is leaving him and his worldview is rapidly becoming outdated.
