										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the summer of 1953, two 11-year-old boys&#8211;best friends&#8211;are playing in a Little League baseball game in New Hampshire. One of the boys hits a foul ball that kills his best friend&#8217;s mother. Owen Meany believes he didn&#8217;t hit the ball by accident. He believes he is God&#8217;s instrument. What happens to Owen after 1953 is extraordinary and terrifying. He is Irving&#8217;s most heartbreaking hero. Copyright Â© Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.</p>
