Когда жизнь человека заходит в тупик или исчерпывается буквально во всем, чем он до этого дышал, открывается особое время и пространство отчаяния и невесомости. Кейси Пибоди, одинокая молодая женщина, погрязшая в давних студенческих долгах и любовной путанице, неожиданно утратившая своего самого близкого друга - собственную мать, снимает худо-бедно пригодный для жизни сарай в Бостоне и пытается хоть как-то держаться на плаву - работает официанткой, выгуливает собаку хозяина сарая и пытается разморозить свои чувства. Есть у Кейси и повод наведаться к врачам. А сверх всего этого она - увлеченная начинающая писательница, и ей есть что…

Recently out of a devastating love affair and mourning the loss of her beloved mum, Casey is lost. The novel she has been writing for six years isn't going anywhere, her debt is soaring, and at thirty-one, with all her friends getting married and having kids, she feels too old for things to be this way.
Then she meets Silas. He is kind, handsome, interested. But only a few weeks later, Oscar - older, fascinating, troubled - walks into her life, his two boys in tow. Suddenly Casey finds herself at the point of a love triangle, torn between two very different relationships that promise two very different futures. And she's still got to write that book . . .

Following the breakout success of her critically acclaimed and award-winning novel Euphoria, Lily King returns with an unforgettable portrait of an artist as a young woman. Blindsided by her mother's sudden death, and wrecked by a recent love affair, Casey Peabody has arrived in Massachusetts in the summer of 1997 without a plan. 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 of: 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 fulfill her creative ambitions and balance the conflicting demands of art and life is challenged in ways that push her to the brink. Writers & 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 & 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.

У Кейси Пибоди с самой собой уговор: по утрам не думать о бесконечных долгах, о недавнем разрыве и о смерти матери. Ни о чем таком нельзя думать по утрам, чтобы удавалось писать. Кейси Пибоди тридцать один год, она работает официанткой, еле наскребает на съем крохотной комнатки в садовом сарае – и пишет роман. Уже шесть лет, как Кейси Пибоди пишет роман, в то время как почти все ее старые друзья уже оставили всякие дурацкие идеи о творческом самовыражении, взялись за ум и остепенились. Мир Кейси беспросветен, и еще больше он раскалывается на куски, когда она влюбляется одновременно в двоих очень разных мужчин… Однако постепенно, даже через…
