Book description
Although it's difficult to believe, the sixties are not fictional;
they actually happened.
Stephen King, whose first novel, Carrie, was published the
year before the US troops withdrew from Vietnam, is the first hugely
popular writer of the TV generation. Images from that war - and the
protests against it - flooded America's living rooms for a decade.
Hearts in Atlantis is composed of five linked stories set in
the years from 1960 to 1999. Each story is deeply rooted in the
sixties, and each is haunted by the Vietnam War.
Full of danger, full of suspense, most of all full of heart,
Hearts in Atlantis will take some readers to a place they
have never been…and others to a place they have never been able to
completely leave.
