Let's Discuss About Grace
The Reserve Retreat, 1322 N Tamiami Trl, Sarasota, FL 34236, USA, Sarasota, FL, USOur next book is About Grace by Anthony Doerr. This is actually his debut novel, published in 2004; he has since written four others, including All the Light One Cannot See (high on my personal list of favorite books). goodreads describes About Grace as "one of the most beautiful, wise and compelling first novels of recent times." The story is about David Winkler, a hydrologist (a scientist who studies rain and snow) who sometimes dreams events that then happen in real life. He falls in love with a woman he dreamed he would meet at the grocery store. Grace is their child. When he dreams that Grace will drown in a catastrophic flood as he tries to save her, in an effort to alter fate, he flees as far as he can from her and her mother. He befriends a child there. As an adult, she inspires him to find them and his own redemption. Read more on goodreads.
