Krátky popis
Beautifully written and compelling, About Grace is the brilliant
debut novel from Anthony Doerr. Growing up in Alaska, young David
Winkler is crippled by his dreams. At nine, he dreams a man is
decapitated by a passing truck on the path outside his family's
home. The next day, unable to prevent it, he witnesses an exact
replay of his dream in real life. The premonitions keep coming,
unstoppably. He sleepwalks during them, bringing catastrophe into
his reach. Then, as unstoppable as a vision, he falls in love, at
the supermarket (exactly as he already dreamed) with Sandy. They
flee south, landing in Ohio, where their daughter Grace is born.
And then the visions of Grace's death begin for Winkler, as their
waterside home is inundated. Plagued by the same horrific images of
Grace drowning, when the floods come, he cannot face his destiny
and flees. He beaches on a remote Caribbean island, where he works
as a handyman, chipping away at his doubts and hopes, never knowing
whether Grace survived the flood or met the doom he foretold. After
two decades, he musters the strength to find out...
