When he awoke from a coma, he discovered he had been in a horrific accident, which would put him in a wheelchair and in turn, conjured up an angry and obnoxious Dick who appeared hell-bent on imploding Richard’s perfect life. This book started with the family man and loving husband Richard, on top of his game, successful in his career, newly promoted, and happily married with an intelligent, supportive, and spunky wife but a drunk driver put a pin in that Richard. But we all know that Richards can also be Dicks, and this Richard past and present definitely fit every definition of that moniker. I adore this loving couple, they bring the sizzle to the sheets and when things are good, the fire department needs to be on standby. I turn them over to you when they smell or get too loud. It’s amazing how clear the view can be when one pulls his head out of his ass. If I didn’t think so, I wouldn’t have answered the phone. Love is filled with second chances, Richard. When the unthinkable becomes reality and life may never again be the same?Ĭan Richard and Katy overcome The Amendment? Amazon US / UK / AU / CA B&N / Kobo / iBook sĪ loving wife, a beautiful family, great friends, and a career he excels at. As tension between Beartown and its rival town, Hed, comes to a boiling point over hockey, jobs, and political squabbles, each member of the community confronts the same questions: “what would you do for your family? What wouldn’t you do?” Narrated by a collective “we,” Backman’s excellent novel has an atmosphere of both Scandinavian folktale and Greek tragedy. When an unconventional new coach arrives, Beartown’s hopes fall on the shoulders of four untested (and possibly unreliable) teenagers. General manager Peter Andersson is under intense scrutiny-particularly from one aggressive group of fans who call themselves “The Pack”-and enters into a questionable agreement with slippery local politician Richard Theo in order to save the team. The village was rocked after a junior team member was convicted of rape the previous spring, and the hockey club is in danger of being liquidated. As a new hockey season approaches, the Beartown team is in a precarious situation. Backman ( A Man Called Ove) returns to the hockey-obsessed village of his previous novel Beartown to chronicle the passion, violence, resilience, and humanity of the people who live there in this engrossing tale of small-town Swedish life. It was believed that an all-embracing plan was based in an aspect of God called Providence, and that the carrying out of Providence's decrees was delegated to a force called Destiny. The belief in predestination was still commonly held throughout much of the medieval world. Pagan gods were supreme and decided the fates of humans, who had no effect on their own destiny. In the pagan world, before the rise of Western civilization and Christianity, the idea of predestination was accepted as truth. The juxtaposition of predestination with the exercise of free will is as old as human thought itself. This complicated issue can be confusing, but grasping the history of the arguments and Vonnegut's take on them will help us better understand and enjoy the novel. A person who chooses to do something is not really choosing at all - the choice is already made. Humankind is the slave of predestination, meaning that all human actions are prescribed before they occur. Over and over again, Vonnegut proclaims that there is no such thing as free will. The most significant theme in Slaughterhouse-Five concerns the dichotomy of predestination and free will. And in 2093, in a world riven by plagues and governed by totalitarian rule, a powerful scientist's damaged granddaughter tries to navigate life without him - and solve the mystery of her husband's disappearances. In a 1993 Manhattan besieged by the AIDS epidemic, a young Hawaiian man lives with his much older, wealthier partner, hiding his troubled childhood and the fate of his father. The fragile young scion of a distinguished family resists betrothal to a worthy suitor, drawn to a charming music teacher of no means. In an alternate version of 1893 America, New York is part of the Free States, where people may live and love whomever they please (or so it seems).
