David Winkler begins life in Anchorage, Alaska, a quiet boy drawn to the volatility of weather and obsessed with snow. Sometimes he sees things before they happen—a man carrying a hatbox will be hit by a bus; Winkler will fall in love with a woman in a supermarket. When David dreams that his infant daughter will drown in a flood as he tries to save her, he comes undone. He travels thousands of miles, fleeing family, home, and the future itself, to deny the dream. On a Caribbean island, destitute, alone, and unsure if his child has survived or his wife can forgive him, David is sheltered by a couple with a daughter of their own. Ultimately it is she who will pull him back into the world, to search for the people he left behind.

his writing style, story telling, plot, characters are just not for me... i can see how people LOOOVE his books and i wish i could but nah.
also the main character is creepy. Stalked a woman until she liked him.. it was very uncomfortable to read honestly.
I reeeeeaaaaaally wanted to like this book but I guess it was just the warm up for All the Light We Cannot See. The main character wasn't enough to keep me really interested and I found myself wondering more about the lives of pretty much every other person in the book more than him. Though the language is lovely and there are some beautiful things said about family and love, I was ultimately pretty disappointed.
