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 family’s 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 Grace’s 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… Review: Must read - Great book lyrical poignant moving Review: Promising story but disappointing execution. - David winkler lives in Anchorage, a small town in Alaska. Since childhood, winkler has dreams that turn out to be true in the future. When David falls in love with a married woman, he runs away with her to Ohio to start a family. His daughter Grace is his life, but when the floods come, he dreams that he will be the instrument of his daughter's death. Forced by a dilemma to run or stay, winkler decides to abandon his family to change his daughter's fate and lives in a remote Caribbean island for 25 years. After 25 years, he decides to find out what happend to his daughter. This book had all the elements of the usual Anthony Doerr books. It had characters with cool obsessions, it had smart, scientific and poetic sentences, it had a beautiful story. Yet it failed to capture my heart as All the light we cannot see did. There was something about this particular book that just wasn't right. From characters being highly flat and two dimensional to having the lack of likeable characters or even the narrative in which Winkler fetishized EVERY. SINGLE WOMAN around him. What's with Anthony Doerr's obsession with calves and breasts? They can't be the only features that describe a woman! I was enjoying the book, I liked the story but the parts where there were descriptions of women highly disappointed me. The characters in the book were two-dimensional, even Winkler's wife sandy was so flat. His daughter Grace was just an angry daughter. Naaliyah, was one of the few characters I wanted to like but I couldn't. The only likeable character was Herman. Ironic since All winkler did throughout the book until the last half was Envy him. Despite such a good and compelling story, reading through this book felt like walking through an elaborate and sluggish dream. It didn't tug the strings of my heart, nor did it excite me in any way. I am highly disappointed with this one. Will I recommend this book to others? The answer would be a hard NO. ## Features - Literature & Fiction,Literary - Type: Paper Back - All Time Read - Comfortable look ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #411,855 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #10,840 in Classic Fiction (Books) #13,646 in Historical Fiction (Books) #28,429 in Contemporary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 7,821 Reviews | ## Images ![About Grace: The haunting psychological novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of All The Light We Cannot See - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91RshcWOBRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must read *by L***A on 5 January 2019* Great book lyrical poignant moving ### ⭐⭐⭐ Promising story but disappointing execution. *by S***T on 14 August 2020* David winkler lives in Anchorage, a small town in Alaska.
