| 520 | |a A sweeping, propulsive, darkly humorous new novel by the best-selling author of Snow Falling on Cedars: a story of destiny, desire, and destruction that reimagines Sophocles's Oedipus Rex for our own era. In Seattle in 1962, Walter Cousins, a mild-mannered actuary -- "a guy who weighs risk for a living" -- takes a risk of his own, and makes the biggest error of his life. He sleeps with Diane Burroughs, the sexy, not-quite-legal British au pair who's taking care of his children for the summer. Diane gets pregnant and leaves their baby on a doorstep, but not before turning the tables on Walter and setting in motion a tragedy of epic proportions. Their orphaned child, adopted by an adoring family and named Edward Aaron King, grows up to become a billionaire Internet tycoon and an international celebrity -- the "King of Search" -- who unknowingly, but inexorably, hurtles through life toward a fate he may have no power to shape. An instant classic -- David Guterson's most daring and dazzling novel yet -- that brings a contemporary urgency to one of the greatest stories of all time. This eBook edition includes a Reading Group Guide. | ||
