Title: Thought-provoking novel
Review: Eddie is a 82-year old man with a limp from an old knee injury that he got during the war. He works as the Chief Maintenance at Ruby Pier, when one day he dies in a tragic accident. He is transported to afterlife, where he meets with five people that determined the course of his life, even though he sees some of them only for the first time. Slowly but surely he starts to understand why his life went the way it went as he forgives and is forgiven the acts that caused him pain and that made other people suffer.The idea that heaven consists of five people explaining your life, but also that things go the way they go because lifes are interconnected, even when it is not blatantly obvious, is thought provoking, even though some people may consider it to be somewhat new age. The book is well-written, a wonderful read for a long Satuday evening by the fire.
