"Spectacular. . . A book that will have an overwhelming effect on readers." --Colm Tóibín, author of Long Island Sometimes I wonder why we keep returning to beginnings--why we seek the single thread we might pull to unravel the tapestry we call our life... By way of H. G. Wells and Rebecca West's affair through 1930s nuclear physics to Flanagan's father working as a slave laborer near Hiroshima when the atom bomb is dropped, this daisy chain of events reaches fission when Flanagan as a young man finds himself trapped in a rapid on a wild river not knowing if he is to live or to die. At once a love song to his island home and to his parents, this hypnotic melding of dream, history, place and memory is about how our lives so often arise out of the stories of others and the stories we invent about ourselves."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
