David Horsey: Beach of Stars, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

National Book Award-winning author Timothy Egan calls David Horsey's Beach of Stars "a wonderful novel" and "a masterful bit of storytelling." National Book Award winner Charles Johnson says, "the novel is amazingly good." Best-selling author Will Schwalbe puts it simply: "The book is terrific." Beach of Stars opens with a 21-year-old college student working a summer job in Mexico. In an act of whimsy, he takes a beer to a young woman on a secluded beach. That simple decision ignites a chain of events that, twenty years on, lures him from his career in city politics into a search for the now-fugitive woman -- a journey of revelation that climaxes in a star-crossed reckoning with the past. More than a romance, more than a mystery, Beach of Stars is an odyssey steered by the small choices, impulsive actions, bad timing and happy coincidences that propel human lives toward calamity or bliss.
