Common card · No. 419588

Euphoria is a 2014 historical fiction novel by American author Lily King. The book centers on the story of an anthropologist named Nell, who is loosely based on the life of Margaret Mead, and her husband living in New Guinea in the 1930s. They meet Bankson, another anthropologist, while in Australia, resulting in a tumultuous love triangle that is the book's central conflict. King wrote the first draft of Euphoria entirely in pencil. She claimed it helped her feel less pressure to get it perfect on the first try. She originally wrote the novel to be in Nell's point of view, but realized she preferred the story in Bankson's instead.
