"Confirms what Touch already prophesied: Alexi Zentner is one of the greatest literary architects and mythmakers working today."âTéa Obreht, author of The Tiger's Wife
From the internationally acclaimed author of Touch, praised as "breathtaking" (People) and "lovelyâ¦at once dreamy and riveting" (Washington Post), comes a powerful family saga steeped in the legends of the sea. Set in a lobster fishing village, The Lobster Kings introduces a fiery and unforgettable heroine, Cordelia Kings.The Kings family has lived on Loosewood Island for three hundred years, blessed with the bounty of the sea. But for the Kings, this blessing comes with a curse: the loss of every firstborn son. Now, Woody Kings, the leader of the islandâs lobster fishing community and the family patriarch, teeters on the throne, and Cordelia, the oldest of Woodyâs three daughters, stands to inherit the crown. To do so, however, she must defend her island from meth dealers from the mainland while navigating sibling rivalry and the vulnerable nature of her own heart when she falls in love with her sternman.
Inspired by King Lear, The Lobster Kings is the story of Cordeliaâs struggle to maintain her islandâs way of life in the face of danger from offshore and the rich, looming, mythical legacy of her familyâs namesake.
