For the first time, one of New York City's major resident authors
spins a breathtakingly immediate, intimate family novel set around
the September 11th attacks. Thirty-four and decidedly independent,
Renata has been known to keep her involvement with people - men in
particular - to a minimum. Even her job at the library keeps her at
a remove from the uncertainty of trusting other people with the
stories of her past. Instead, she loses herself in language, always
measuring the integrity of words against lived experience. Then
Jack, patient, solid and sexy, enters her life. One bright
September morning as Renata walks across the Brooklyn Bridge to
work, the sky bursts open and change comes without warning. It
quickly becomes clear in the days ahead that Renata cannot keep
memories of her buried past - of a twin sister, a betrayal, of
family truths too ugly to acknowledge - at bay. Written with
tremendous compassion and imagination, informed by an abiding love
for the people of New York, and crafted by a master storyteller at
the height of her powers, "The Writing on the Wall" is a profoundly
engaging novel about how one woman saw - and we all continue to
ponder - the defining event of our time.
