Let the Great World Spin Book

In the August of 1974, a man is walking in the sky above New York. He is on a tightrope standing between the newly built Twin Towers. On ground level, the lives of complete strangers begin to spin dramatically towards each other. Those of a radical Irish monk, a grieving housewife, a drug-addled young artist, a put-upon and bereaved mother, a hooker with dreams of a better life and her beautiful daughter will all collide and be transformed in the shadow of this beautiful and reckless act. Colum McCann's expertly-told story brings these disparate situations vividly to life and contribute to an astonishing and heart-breaking novel. Let the Great World Spin is a stirring read.Read More
