As a top correspondent for "Vanity Fair" magazine, Amy Fine Collins
leads a glamorous life, a charmed whirlwind of gala parties,
couture clothing, and five-star travel. In Manhattan, where she is
whisked around in taxis and limousines, she has been able to
disregard her long-standing fear of driving, a legacy handed down
from her accident-plagued family. But when the brilliant and
determined Amy finally decides to confront her driving phobia, she
does not foresee how far from her elegant turf this resolution will
take her.
A mysterious, good-looking Turk named Attila is dispatched to her
doorstep in a dual-brake Acura, and in him Amy discovers not only a
superhumanly skilled instructor but also a wise, patient, and
capable man who, inexplicably and irresistibly, over the course of
their yearlong lessons, begins to transform and transport her.
Both a compelling portrait of an elusive, charismatic hero and an
inspiring adventure story, "The God of Driving" recounts the
evolving relationship of Amy and Attila as they zoom in and out of
urban interstates and country byways, as close to home as Park
Avenue and as far away as Hamburg -- in muscle cars, turbocharged
Bentleys, and hang-on-for-your-life motorcycles. And while Attila
is completely changing her life, Amy is entirely remaking his,
prompting him to uncover -- and redeem -- his shadowy past. Vibrant
and funny, "The God of Driving" is an offbeat, romantic odyssey --
a true-life tale of unlikely soul mates who bump into each other at
the crossroads of high gears and high style.
