Sleeping BeAuTieS STephen And owen King Stephen King has worked with his oldest son on a few collabora- tions, but never with his young- est son, Owen. Together they developed this novel that takes place in a world where something has happened that has caused all the women to go to sleep. While sleeping they are shrouded in a cocoon-like gauze that causes them to become feral and vio- lent if awoken. In a small town
in West Virginia, one woman is immune to the curse, and faces judgment from the abandoned men who can’t decide if
she should be studied to
nd a cure for the other
women, or slain because
she is different.

The New York Times bestselling author returns with a novel about personal transformation that binds together two completely differ- ent people whose spiritual search leads them to the same place: an Israeli desert. One is a success- ful 68-year-old lawyer whose life is in ux. He’s in the middle of a divorce, has just started retirement and is dealing with his parents’ deaths. He suddenly decides to give away all his possessions
and travel to Israel to honour his parents. The other story follows
a young, well-known novelist who travels to Tel Aviv in hopes
of unlocking her writer’s block while leaving thoughts of her failing marriage behind. She gets drawn into a mystery that changes her life in a very unexpected way. It’s a story about change and self-realization, and look- ing beyond what is right in front of you.
