No matter the format, Stephen King"s work is spellbinding because the author himself is spellbound.The first hugely popular writer of the TV generation, King published his first novel, Carrie, in 1974, the year before the last U.S. troops withdrew from Vietnam. Images from that war--and protests against it--had flooded America"s living rooms for nearly ten years. In HEARTS IN ATLANTIS,King mesmerizes readers with fiction deeply rooted in the Sixties, and explores--through four defining decades--the haunting legacy, of the Vietnam War.
As the characters in HEARTS IN ATLANTIS are tested in every way, King probes and unlocks the secrets of his generation for us all. Full of danger, full of suspense, and most of all full of heart, Stephen King"s new book will take some readers to a place they have never been...and others to a place they have never been able to leave completely.
