What this book is about
Ralph Roberts, a recent widower in his seventies, develops severe insomnia—and begins to see auras around people, then tiny beings that manipulate the threads of fate. King's longest novel (outside the Dark Tower proper) connects to the Dark Tower mythology and deals with abortion politics as a background conflict. Dense, metaphysical, and very long.
