Local Description

Kathleen's review - What a fascinating story. Andrei isn't just different because of being born with a caul, but was also set apart by being a voracious reader from a very early age and from spending his life in a bit of a daydream. Then there was the problem with his father ... and then he had to live with his father's relatives ... and then ... and then ... and I really got to like this character and was totally involved in his life.

An excellent read.

Description

‘There are some things you can never share with another human being. Answering to the caul is one of those.’ 


It is said that being born in a caul means that you can never die by drowning. Andrei Reti puts this prophesy to the test, time and time again.  But there is a price to be paid for each caul intervention.  This is a novel about the dark side of being special.  About the war between fact and coincidence. About the things we can never share.
