Lily King, HEART THE LOVER

Zibby interviews New York Times bestselling author Lily King about HEART THE LOVER, her magnificent and intimate new novel about literature, forgiveness, and the transformative bonds that shape our lives. Lily opens up about the long, winding path that led to the book, from a shelved murder mystery draft to a spark of inspiration after reading a friend’s manuscript. She shares how themes of love, loss, friendship, and time weave through the story, and how her personal history and family experiences shaped her sensitivity to life’s smallest details.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/46KSQalShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Want more?
