The God of Driving

A top correspondent for Vanity Fair magazine, Amy Fine Collins leads a glamorous life in Manhattan, where she has been able to disregard her long-standing fear of driving. But when she finally decides to confront her phobia, she does not foresee how far this resolution will take her. This true-life tale of unlikely soul mates is both a portrait of an elusive, charismatic hero (her mysterious driving instructor Attila) and an inspiring adventure story, recounting their evolving relationship as they zoom in and out of urban interstates and country byways, from Park Avenue to Hamburg, in muscle cars, turbocharged Bentleys, and hang-on-for-your-life motorcycles. And while Attila is changing her life, Amy is remaking his, prompting him to uncover--and redeem--his shadowy past.

המשפט הראשון: This is the recurrent nightmare: I am inside my father's Morris Minor convertible, scarcely filling the driver's seat, and the oyster gray automobile is hurtling, helter-skelter, down a steep hill.
