Hearts in Atlantis by Stephen King
5.0
Again with the Stephen King, I know. I admit have a problem. Hello, my name is Sarah and I’m a King-oholic.
This one is a bit like a supernatural sandwich. It starts with a strong other-worldly foundation, builds and peaks with some classic make-you-think-and-feel-things drama, and closes with another quick dash of magic right at the end– a reminder that despite the relative normalcy of the previous sections, you are still reading King.
The story is really three or four stories, spanning decades, stringing together the lives of a few carefree children who grew up and realized that the world is far more complex, beautiful, devastating, and yes, magical than they could have ever dreamed. They grow up and go to war, go to jail, go to funerals… And they discover and define themselves– all the good and all the bad. In the end, their many hearts are in Atlantis (who could have guessed?!).
Delightful, as always.
