Description
A “beautifully written, heartbreaking” (S. J. Watson) debut novel about a gifted boy who discovers the truth about his past, his overprotective single mother who tries desperately to shield him from it, and the father he has never met who has unexpectedly returned.
Twelve-year-old Ethan Forsythe, an exceptionally talented boy obsessed with physics and astronomy, has been raised alone by his mother in Sydney, Australia. Claire, a former professional ballerina, has been a wonderful parent to Ethan, but he’s becoming increasingly curious about his father’s absence in his life. Claire is fiercely protective of her talented, vulnerable son—and of her own feelings. But when Ethan falls ill, tied to a tragic event that occurred during his infancy, her tightly-held world is split open.
Thousands of miles away on the western coast of Australia, Mark is trying to forget about the events that tore his family apart, but an unexpected call forces him to confront his past and return home. When Ethan secretly intercepts a letter from Mark to Claire, he unleashes long-suppressed forces that—like gravity—pull the three together again, testing the limits of love and forgiveness.
Told from the alternating points of view of Ethan and each of his parents, Relativity is a poetic and soul-searing exploration of unbreakable bonds, irreversible acts, the limits of science, and the magnitude of love.

Das Schicksal von Ethan und seiner Familie... ist es nun passiert oder nicht... ist er schuld oder nicht...?
Ethan ist besonders! Die Sterne, der Himmel, das Universum... Ethan sieht Dinge, die andere nicht sehen können, erkennt Zusammenhänge, die andere nicht erkennen können. Dieses Anderssein macht sein Leben nicht immer einfacher. Seine Mutter versucht ihn zu schützen vor der Vergangenheit, vor der Wahrheit, vor seinem Vater. Aber Ethan braucht diesen Schutz nicht, er kann verzeihen. Ein schönes Buch, dass mich sehr berührt hat. Manchmal reicht ein Augenblick, ein Moment, um das Leben aller zu ändern.
