WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD Winner of the Dublin Impac International Prize Winner of Best Foreign Novel Award Weshanhu Award Winner of the Grinzane Award Winner of the Prix Deauville Winner of the Ambassador Book Award Winner of the Medici Book Club Prize Winner of the Aspen Literary Prize ‘A wow of a novel – rich, humane, brilliantly written and as deep as it is wide’ The Times ____________________________________ New York, August 1974: a man is walking in the sky. Between the newly built Twin Towers, the man twirls through the air. Far below, the lives of complete strangers spin towards each other: Corrigan, a radical Irish monk working in the Bronx; Claire, a delicate Upper East Side housewife reeling from the death of her son; Lara, a drug-addled young artist; Gloria, solid and proud despite decades of hardship; Tillie, a hooker who used to dream of a better life; and Jazzlyn, her beautiful daughter raised on promises that reach beyond the skyline of New York. In the shadow of one reckless and beautiful act, these disparate lives will collide, and be transformed for ever. ‘A glorious, thumping tale of intersecting lives, told in a language that all but sings’ Kamila Shamsie ‘One of the most electric, profound novels I have read in years ... an emotional tour de force’ New York Times ‘McCann has reinvented the city of New York in all its breathing, fighting, whining, joyous clamour’ Peter Carey, Observer
