Title: The Thunderstruck - Paul Harding - book
Summary :
2010 PULITZER PRIZE
George, a former watchmaker, is dying among his family, and as his last hours tick by and the world slips away from him, memories flood back, ever more vibrant, like pieces of goldsmithery threatened by time. A father always on the move, haunted by lightning and epilepsy, objects charged with meaning and emotion, moments of pure nature, shards that need polishing one last time...
Through the magic of his meticulous and dazzling writing, Paul Harding immerses the reader in the broken mirror of an unforgettable character, offering us the story of a life made of appearances and disappearances, of seasons and silences, an ode to the ephemeral of rare intensity.
