Heidi's grandfather or Fortune's darling

More about the book

„Jesus Mary, help me! I must get out of here!“ It crosses my mind, all at once, that I probably won't make it, and I ask myself surprisingly, if this is the way I am meant to die. Of all things, drowning! It would have never occurred to me; a more likely death would be due to a serious illness or a car accident, but not this way! The prospect of dying this way overwhelms me tremendously.
