SHORTLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL IMPAC DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD 2015
LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2013 SHORTLISTED FOR THE IRISH
NOVEL OF THE YEAR 2013 'It is, simply, perfect' Irish Examiner
'Majestic' Sunday Times 'Quite simply one of the best, most
sustained pieces of fiction I've read in some time' Independent
____________________ In 1919 Emily Ehrlich watches as two young
airmen, Alcock and Brown, emerge from the carnage of World War One
to pilot the very first non-stop transatlantic flight from
Newfoundland to the west of Ireland. In 1845 Frederick Douglass, a
black American slave, lands in Ireland to champion ideas of
democracy and freedom, only to find a famine unfurling at his feet.
And in 1998 Senator George Mitchell criss-crosses the ocean in
search of an elusive Irish peace. Stitching these stories
intricately together, Colum McCann sets out to explore the fine
line between what is real and what is imagined, and the tangled
skein of connections that make up our lives.
