A Prayer For Owen Meany John Irving

'If you care about something you have to protect it. If you're lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it'.

Owen doesn't believe in accidents; he believes he is God's instrument. What happens to Owen after that 1953 foul ball is both extraordinary and terrifying.

A Prayer For Owen Meany Bewertungen

I believe it to be a work of genius... because of its absolutely irrepressible flow of invention and suggestion, expressed in some of the most fascinating prose written in fiction today. Originality has distinguished all Mr Irving's books, but in A Prayer For Owen Meany it achieves a new pitch and a new profundity * Independent *
Marvellously funny... What better entertainment is there than a serious book which makes you laugh? * Spectator *
So extraordinary, so original, and so enriching * The Washington Post *
May justly join the classic American list * Observer *
A heartbreaking masterpiece of a novel... tremendously ambitious and fiendishly clever -- Dominic Holland * Sunday Express *
