'Twelve hours of darkness, twelve hours of light. January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December. He buried Grace and resurrected her and reburied her a thousand times. The sun rolled up, and printed the shadows of the palms onto the sands, and it rolled down, and stars emerged, one-by-one, then suddenly by the thousands, and twelve hours later the sky paled, and the sun rolled up again. Every day, at seemingly every hour, blackbirds like sleek undertakers cried in the trees: sweet-sweet, sweet-sweet. And waves broke against the forward side of the barrier reef, and boats shuttled back and forth beyond it. For twenty years these were the borders of his life.'

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 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 familys 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 Graces 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. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
