Description
A poignant exploration of the relationship between a father and son, this novel weaves together the tall tales Edward Bloom has told throughout his life with the deeper truths beneath them. As Edward faces his mortality, his son William embarks on a quest to separate fact from fiction, discovering that the mythic stories his father shared may hold more wisdom than he ever realized. Through a series of interconnected legends and reimagined adventures, William reconstructs his father's life, uncovering both the remarkable achievements and profound regrets that shaped the man he knew so little about. This lyrical meditation on storytelling, legacy, and forgiveness ultimately becomes a moving tribute to the power of narrative in understanding those we love. Daniel Wallace crafts a uniquely imaginative tale about the stories we tell ourselves and how they define us.
