11/22/63

Book • 1925
In '11/22/63', Stephen King crafts a compelling narrative around Jake Epping, a high school English teacher from Lisbon Falls, Maine, who discovers a time portal in the back room of a local diner.

This portal leads him to 1958, where he assumes the identity of George Amberson and integrates into society while awaiting the opportunity to prevent the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963.

The novel explores themes of time travel, the butterfly effect, and the personal relationships Jake forms, particularly with Sadie Dunhill, a high school librarian.

King's meticulous research recreates the culture and atmosphere of the 1950s and 1960s, making the historical setting feel vivid and authentic.

The book is a blend of suspense, historical fiction, and romance, showcasing King's versatility as a writer.
