Answering to the Caul

Author(s): Ted Dawe

NZ Adult Fiction

‘There are some things you can never share with another human being. Answering to the caul is one of those.’ 


It is said that being born in a caul means that you can never die by drowning. Andrei Reti puts this prophesy to the test, time and time again.  But there is a price to be paid for each caul intervention.  This is a novel about the dark side of being special.  About the war between fact and coincidence. About the things we can never share.
