A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving

'SO EXTRAORDINARY, SO ORIGINAL,
AND SO ENRICHING...'
Stephen King, Washington Post

Eleven-year-old Owen Meany, playing in a Little League
baseball game in Gravesend, New Hampshire, hits a foul ball
and kills his best friend's mother. Owen doesn't believe in
accidents; he believes he is God's instrument. What happens to
Owen after that 1953 foul is both extraordinary and terrifying.
At moments a comic, self-deluded victim, but in the end the
principal, tragic actor in a divine plan. Owen Meany is the
most heartbreaking hero John Irving has yet created.
