While duck hunting one morning, childless, middle-aged Nathan McCann finds a newborn abandoned in the woods. To his shock, the child--wrapped in a sweater and wearing a tiny knitted hat--is still alive. To his wife's shock, Nathan wants to adopt the boy ... but the child's grandmother steps in. Nathan makes her promise, however, that one day she'll bring the boy to meet him so he can reveal that he was the one who rescued him.

Very interesting surprise. I had hesitated to start, just because I'm a moron and assumed that, as a bestseller, it would be run of the mill. Didn't think it was. Actually, it could have been more of it - some parts were almost unbelievable. Nathan is a boy who is found by an old man, and the book tells their stories.
What I loved was the narrative and the fact I would never have thought of telling that story in particular. What I didn't love was what I considered jumps: Nathan becoming almost a delinquent just because he finds out the truth about himself - understand he was shocked, but I have difficulties believing his reaction - Flora and her coldness, all the time; Carol and Nathan's relationship, which could have been better exploited; Eleanor's bitterness, ditto. These pieces were like the story had been cut and I missed the links. It didn't hurt the whole picture, but I think it might have made it more nitid, you know?
Anyway, I started reading it and just stopped when I finished it. Pause for wine.
