Overview
A veces la vida te reserva un nuevo camino hacia la felicidad
Un lugar en el cielo es al mismo tiempo una novela de aprendizaje, un relato coral de múltiples e inolvidables personajes y una historia de los muchos caminos que la vida nos ofrece para que un corazón roto vuelva a sentir y a amar.
Una mañana de verano, Edward Adler, de doce años, su hermano mayor, sus padres y ciento ochenta y tres pasajeros embarcan en Newark rumbo a Los Ángeles. Entre ellos, además de los Adler, está un prodigio de Wall Street, una chica que acaba de descubrir que está embarazada, un veterano de la guerra de Afganistán que arrastra las secuelas de la contienda, un magnate de los negocios, una mujer independiente que huye de un marido demasiado controlador. A mitad de camino, el avión se estrella. Edward es el único superviviente.
La historia se convierte en la gran noticia del momento y acapara la atención de todos los medios del país. Pero Edward no siente que haya sobrevivido al accidente. Una parte de él se ha quedado para siempre en ese avión en el que perdió a su familia, junto a esos pasajeros a los que conoció por unas horas, en ese cielo en el que su vida, tal como la conocía, cambió para siempre.
Y es que, cuando lo has perdido todo, ¿de dónde puedes sacar la fuerza para seguir adelante, cómo volver a encontrar sentido a tu vida?
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • #ReadWithJenna Book Club Pick as Featured on Today • A “dazzling” novel that “will break your heart and put it back together again” (J. Courtney Sullivan, bestselling author of Saints for All Occasions) about a young boy who must learn to go on after surviving tragedy
“A reading experience that leaves you profoundly altered for the better . . . Don’t miss this one.”—Jodi Picoult, bestselling author of Small Great Things and A Spark of Light
What does it mean not just to survive, but to truly live?
One summer morning, twelve-year-old Edward Adler, his beloved older brother, his parents, and 183 other passengers board a flight in Newark headed for Los Angeles. Among them are a Wall Street wunderkind, a young woman coming to terms with an unexpected pregnancy, an injured veteran returning from Afghanistan, a business tycoon, and a free-spirited woman running away from her controlling husband. Halfway across the country, the plane crashes. Edward is the sole survivor.
Edward’s story captures the attention of the nation, but he struggles to find a place in a world without his family. He continues to feel that a part of himself has been left in the sky, forever tied to the plane and all of his fellow passengers. But then he makes an unexpected discovery—one that will lead him to the answers of some of life’s most profound questions: When you’ve lost everything, how do you find the strength to put one foot in front of the other? How do you learn to feel safe again? How do you find meaning in your life?
Dear Edward is at once a transcendent coming-of-age story, a multidimensional portrait of an unforgettable cast of characters, and a breathtaking illustration of all the ways a broken heart learns to love again.
