The Boy Who Fell Out Of Sky

Bol Partner

On December 21, 1989, David Dornstein died in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie in Scotland. He left behind a younger brother, Ken, desperate to understand his death, and pick up the pieces of what he left behind. But far from being a simple rescue mission, Ken's quest became a labour of love, an obsession, and an emotional journey to much stranger places than he ever could have imagined ! A heartrending, profoundly moving memoir with the narrative pull of a detective story.'What an expressive range Dornstein has! Humour, absurdity, bathos, drama, tragedy, excitement -- he combines them all in this shocking, complex and profoundly thoughtful study of loss and survival' Alexander Masters (author of Stuart: A Life Backwards )'Mesmerising' New York Times 'Fascinating' Esquire

**The storyof one man’s search for the truth about his brother—and himself. “Hugely satisfying ... [Dornstein's] journey ... reveals not just the truth about the Dornstein brothers but about love, loss, and ultimately life's inescapable transience.” —The Boston Globe** David Dornstein was twenty-five years old, with dreams of becoming a great writer, when he boarded Pan Am Flight 103 on December 21, 1988. Thirty-eight minutes after takeoff, a terrorist bomb ripped the plane apart over Lockerbie, Scotland. Almost a decade later, Ken Dornstein set out to solve the riddle of his older brother’s life, using the notebooks and manuscripts that David left behind. In the process, he also began to create a new life of his own.
