Zusammenfassung
Set against the backdrop of the devastating global recession, and pulsing with the energy of the author's previous novel Invisible, this title is as mythic as it is contemporary, as in love with baseball as it is with literature. It is above all, a story about love and forgiveness - not only among men and women, but also between fathers and sons.
