What does it mean not just to survive, but to truly live?
One summer morning, twelve-year-old Edward Adler, his beloved older brother, his parents, and 183 other passengers board a flight in Newark headed for Los Angeles. Among them are a Wall Street wunderkind, a young woman coming to terms with an unexpected pregnancy, an injured veteran returning from Afghanistan, a business tycoon, and a free-spirited woman running away from her controlling husband. Halfway across the country, the plane crashes. Edward is the sole survivor.

Edward’s story captures the attention of the nation, but he struggles to find a place in a world without his family. He continues to feel that a part of himself has been left in the sky, forever tied to the plane and all of his fellow passengers. But then he makes an unexpected discovery—one that will lead him to the answers of some of life’s most profound questions: When you’ve lost everything, how do you find the strength to put one foot in front of the other? How do you learn to feel safe again? How do you find meaning in your life?

Dear Edward is at once a transcendent coming-of-age story, a multidimensional portrait of an unforgettable cast of characters, and a breathtaking illustration of all the ways a broken heart learns to love again.

Nach "Hello Beautiful" wollte ich unbedingt mehr von Ann Napolitano, ich mochte ihre Charaktere sehr, ihre kluge Art, Sätze erlebbar zu machen. Bei all den tollen Rezensionen hatte ich vielleicht zu hohe Erwartungen, diese Geschichte kam mir etwas zäh vor, die Charaktere etwas flach und die gesamte Entwicklung war etwas mühsam, das Ende unfassbar kitschig und vorhersehbar in meinen Augen. Für mich erfasst die Story leider nicht die überwältigende Trauer, die ein Mensch erleben kann, wenn er seine Familie verliert. Das ist vermutlich wahnsinnig schwer in Worte zu fassen, vielleicht sogar unmöglich - der Klappentext hatte mir genau das suggeriert.

Enttäuschend und vorhersehbar
