Heart the Lover

€10.90

Filled with wit and profound wisdom, King's beautiful novel explores the relationships that define – and sometimes derail – us through the story of three college students and the push and pull of their interactions over the following decades.

Waterstones Fiction Book of the Month for May 2026 Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2026

Our narrator understands good love stories - their secrets, their highs and free falls. But her greatest love story, the one she lived, never followed the rules.

She was in her senior year of college when star students Sam and Yash swept her into an intoxicating world of academic fervour, rapid-fire banter and raucous card games. Their lives became quickly intertwined - with friendship but also with unpredictable passions and the intimations of first love.

Decades later, she is a successful writer, living a comfortable life with her husband and children, when a surprise visit brings the past crashing into the present, forcing her to confront the decisions and deceptions of her youth.
