Fortunate Son
|
|
 |
Title Description New York Times bestselling author Walter Mosley explores the true meaning of fortune in a gripping novel about two extraordinary brothers. “They call me Lucky.” Tommy’s nickname is Lucky, but no one would think this crippled boy was blessed. Cursed with health problems and drawn into trouble more often than not, Tommy is the recipient of pity rather than admiration. He is nothing like his stepbrother, Eric. Eric, a Nordic Adonis, is graced by a seemingly endless supply of good fortune—he is charming, a star athlete, and a magnet for anyone in his sphere. Yet in spite of these differences, Eric and Tommy are as close as two humans can be. After tragedy rips their makeshift family apart, the lives of these boys split. In a powerful story of modern-day resilience and redemption, Tommy and Eric forge their separate ways in the world, each confronting his own challenges. Eric and Tommy’s parallel lives are an astonishing story of self-determination and the true measure of fortune. The ties that bind this Adonis and his sickly counterpart, however, are thicker than blood, and when circumstances reunite Eric and Tommy after years apart, their distinct approaches to life may be the only thing that can save them from forces that threaten to destroy them. Written with unique insight into the hidden currents and deeper realities of modern life, FORTUNATE SON is a tour de force by the author the Boston Globe calls “one of this nation’s finest writers.” Recommendations Customers who ordered this book also ordered: 1.
