Sam, un ragazzino di otto anni, è sempre stato diverso: bellissimo, sorprendente e autistico. Per amore suo e della sua famiglia, il papà Alex ha sempre cercato un modo per intendersi con Sam, ma lo sforzo, quotidiano e sfibrante, porta a una crisi matrimoniale che sembra irreversibile. Alex decide di allontanarsi dalla moglie e va ad abitare a casa di Dan, il suo migliore amico felicemente scapolo ed eterno adolescente, e da una scomodissima branda per gli ospiti medita su come fare per riconquistare moglie e figlio. Mentre Alex naviga a vista nella sua nuova vita da single fra segreti di famiglia rimasti a lungo sepolti e gli impegni di padre part-time, Sam incomincia a giocare a Minecraft, rivelando uno spazio inatteso in cui padre e figlio riescono a intendersi. «La morbidezza degli spigoli», basato sull’esperienza vera dell’autore, è un romanzo commovente, divertente e profondo sulla forza della differenza e su un figlio molto molto speciale.

THE FIRST NOVEL IN THE BESTSELLING OUTLANDER SERIES. As seen on Amazon Prime TV. Previously published as Cross Stitch. Claire Randall is leading a double life. She has a husband in one century - and a lover in another. In 1946, Claire Randall is back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon in Scotland. Innocently she walks through a stone circle in the Highlands, and finds herself in a violent skirmish taking place in 1743. Suddenly she is a Sassenach, an outlander, in a country torn by war and by clan feuds. A wartime nurse, Claire can deal with the bloody wounds that face her. But it is harder to deal with the knowledge that she is in Jacobite Scotland and the carnage of Culloden is looming. Marooned amid the passion and violence, the superstition, the shifting allegiances and the fervent loyalties, Claire is in danger from Jacobites and Redcoats - and from the shock of her own desire for James Fraser, a gallant and courageous young Scots warrior. Jamie shows her a passion so fierce and a love so absolute that Claire becomes a woman torn between fidelity and desire, and between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.
