HEART THE LOVER

This bittersweet, immersive audiobook unites King with Rebecca Lowman, one of our finest narrative voices. Lowman is at her shape-shifting best as she matches her tone, pace, and timing to each character. The protagonist, who begins the novel in her final days at college, becomes an author. Called "Jordan" by her two brilliant friends, Sam and Yash, she reveals the story of a unique love triangle and then flashes forward to her life decades later as a teacher's wife, mother of two boys, and successful novelist. The plot takes a doubly dark turn when one of her sons is stricken with a brain tumor and Yash, the bygone love of her life, is diagnosed with cancer. The story's message, young love persists, keeps the listener engrossed. A.D.M. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2025]
