Random Acts of Heroic Love |
This is really two stories. One is the effect on a young man of his girlfriend's death in a bus crash in Ecuador (made all the more poignant by a recent similar event); the other is the heroic journey across Russia made by his Grandfather during World War I. Extraordinarily, both stories are based on real events in the author's family. Although it dragged in places, this was a moving exploration of grief.
