This my very first English novel that I read.....
'A breathtaking love story that spans generations,
ranging from fin-de-siécle Vienna through the pivotal
ranging from fin-de-siécle Vienna through the pivotal
moments of the twentieth century'
The Sneak Peek
The Little Book is the extraordinary tale of Wheeler Burden - banking heir , rock idol , and Harvard baseball hero . Wheeler suddenly finds himself dislocated in time and space from 1988 San Francisco to Vienna in the year 1897 . It is precisely ninety-one years before his last memory and a half century before his birth.
It's not long before Wheeler encounters local residents Mark Twain , Gustav Mahler and an eager young psychologist named Sigmund Freud. When Wheeler develops a powerful crush on a luminous young woman , it leads to an incredible insight into his own family - and the dashing young war-hero father Wheeler never knew.
While the truth at the center of Wheeler's dislocation in time remain a stubborn mystery , solving it will ultimately reveal the eccentric Burden family's unrivaled impact on the very course of the coming century.
RICHARD FORD describes this novel as
'Richly inventive , woven tightly with incident , and fully engaging'
