HTML:<b>The first novel by</b> <b>Anthony Doerr, the highly acclaimed, multiple award-winning author of <i>Cloud Cuckoo Land,</i> and the</b> <b>Pulitzer Prize-winning #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestseller <i>All the Light We Cannot See</i>, one of the most beautiful, wise, and compelling debuts of recent times.</b><br /> David Winkler begins life in Anchorage, Alaska, a quiet boy drawn to the volatility of weather and obsessed with snow. Sometimes he sees things before they happen—a man carrying a hatbox will be hit by a bus; Winkler will fall in love with a woman in a supermarket. When David dreams that his infant daughter will drown in a flood as he tries to save her, he comes undone. He travels thousands of miles, fleeing family, home, and the future itself, to deny the dream.<br /> <br /> On a Caribbean island, destitute, alone, and unsure if his child has survived or his wife can forgive him, David is sheltered by a couple with a daughter of their own. Ultimately it is she who will pull him back into the world, to search for the people he left behind.<br /> <br /> Doerr's characters are full of grief and longing, but also replete with grace. His compassion for human frailty is extraordinarily moving. In luminous prose, he writes about the power and beauty of nature and about the tiny miracles that transform our lives. <i>About Grace</i> is heartbreaking, radiant, and astonishingly accomplished.
