Product Description
â??Take the advice of no one,â? August Kleinmanâ??s mother says to him while August is still a young boy in Germany, and with these words to guide him, he escapes Nazi Germany and goes on to build a fortune, a family, and life on his own terms in America. At the defining moments that reveal character and shape fate â?? a shocking encounter with a Japanese soldier in a cave during World War II, the audacious decision to start a brewery in Pittsburgh and a violent reaction against threats to its independent success, a vacation in Barbados, during which his beloved wife mysteriously wanders off, the birth of his grandson â?? Augustâ??s instincts are determinative in a way that illuminates how lives unfold at the deepest levels. This is a brilliant, suspenseful, surprising novel by one of Americaâ??s finest writers. Publisherâ??s Weekly called Ethan Caninâ??s For Kings and Planets â??Masterful â?¦ a classic parable of the human condition,â? and the same can be said about Carry Me Across the Water.
