商品描述内容简介JOEL WILL SOON be 12, and he thinks nothing is going on in the small community where he lives. But he's wrong. One day, an incident that could easily have been a catastrophe turns into a miracle. Now Joel believes he owes the world a good deed, to prove that he deserved what might have been divine intervention. He thinks up an elaborate scheme, but it doesn't go as anticipated. Even though his heart is in the right place, feelings are hurt. If he confesses what he's done and why, will things be put right again? Readers who met Joel Gustafson, his father, and their friends in "A Bridge to the Stars "will follow, with appreciation, Henning Mankell's shrewd depiction, in this companion novel, of the surprising changes in Joel's existence. Mankell deftly explores Joel's self-discovery, his realization that lives can be altered in a single moment, and his new understanding that a choice between telling the truth and keeping silent can make all the difference. "From the Hardcover edition."媒体推荐Joel will soon be twelve, and he thinks nothing's going on in the small community where he lives. But he's wrong. One day, a miracle happens. He's run over by a bus but somehow comes through it unscathed. He now believes he must repay the favor by doing a good deed. So he decides to find a husband for his friend, a young woman in town who is shy and lonely. He plans to find the best candidate for a husband, and then secretly bring them together, with neither one being the wiser.
Even though his heart is in the right place, his plan backfires and his friend's feelings are hurt by the very person he thought would be best for her. Joel feels terrible and knows that he must confess to his elaborate scheme to ultimately make things right.
