Omschrijving
From the award-winning, bestselling author of Snow Falling on Cedars comes a modern re-imagining of one of the world's greatest tragedies, Sophocles' Oedipus Rex--a story of destiny, desire, and destruction. - "Brilliant.... Transcendently dark and dazzling." --The Seattle Times
In Seattle of 1962, Walter Cousins, a mild-mannered actuary 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. When Diane becomes pregnant and leaves their baby on a doorstep, it sets in motion a tragedy of epic proportions. The 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 way of reversing.
