From the author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist "You Are Not A
Stranger Here," a stunning, masterful portrait of our modern gilded
age.
At the heart of "Union Atlantic" lies a test of wills between a
retired history teacher, Charlotte Graves--who has suddenly begun
to hear her two dogs speaking to her in the voices of Cotton Mather
and Malcolm X--and an ambitious young banker, Doug Fanning, who is
building an ostentatious mansion on what was once Charlotte's
family land. Drawn into the conflict is Nate Fuller, a troubled
high-school student who stirs powerful emotions in both of them.
What emerges is a riveting story of financial power, the defense of
tradition, and the distortions of desire these forces create. With
remarkable scope and precision, "Union Atlantic" delivers a
striking vision of the violent, anxious world we've come to
inhabit.
