Rese�a del editor:

The Curingtells the epic tale of one man's life and, in doing so, takes us from the end of the Second World War to twenty-first century Britain. Joshua Hoi is born in August 1945 to a Japanese father that he never knew and an English mother. It is the beginning of a life that takes him to the margins of society and to the heart of the establishment; it is a life that is crammed full of drama, tragedy, and unexpected good fortune. Throughout it all, Joshua discovers a lot about himself and the world, and he always tries to do good. So, when his luck turns, he shares it with others and uses his good fortune to transform the lives of others. And when, by accident, he makes a discovery that could annihilate the world, he uses it instead as a force for good. But how much difference can his good deeds really make?"

Biograf�a del autor:

Trevor Towers was born in Brighton, England at the end of the Second World War. As the son of a naval officer, he spent much of his childhood in Malta, where his father was posted. Trevor cherishes these memories to this day. The family later returned to England and settled in Portsmouth. Trevor attended the Royal Hospital School, also known as Holbrook', near Ipswich. It was a boarding school with a strong focus on instilling its pupils with the values and skills necessary for a career in the British Armed Forces.Trevor subsequently spent many years in the army; his experiences from those days have a strong influence in his writing. He has married twice, and has five sons. Much of Trevor's life has been spent travelling the world or living overseas. Time spent in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Africa, and Asia has inspired many of his stories.In 2004, whilst holidaying in Phuket, Thailand, Trevor and his wife Petra were caught in the Boxing Day Tsunami. They were swept away by the full force of the wave that killed so many but, miraculously, they survived. Despite their terrifying experience, they fell in love with Thailand and its people, and subsequently settled in Hua-Hin, where they still reside today.
