Narrator Steven Crossley
On a windy spring day in the Chilterns, the calm, organized life
of science writer Joe Rose is shattered when he witnesses a tragic
accident: a hot-air balloon with a boy trapped in its basket is
being tossed by the wind, and in the attempt to save the child,
a man is killed. A stranger named Jed Parry joins Rose in helping
to bring the balloon to safety. But unknown to Rose, something
passes between Parry and himself on that day--something that gives
birth to an obsession in Parry so powerful that it will test the
limits of Rose's beloved rationalism, threaten the love of his wife,
Clarissa, and drive him to the brink of murder and madness. Brilliant
and compassionate, this is a novel of love, faith, and suspense, and
of how life can change in an instant.
