A man is haunted by the memory of his mother with a rope round her
neck. It is the American War of Independence, and having defied the
British forces occupying New York she must pay for her
revolutionary activities. But fifty years on, her son harbours a
festering guilt for his inadvertent part in her downfall. In
thrusting nineteenth-century New York, a ruthless merchant's
sensitive son is denied the love of his life through his father's
prejudice against the immigrants flooding into the city - and
madness and violence ensue. In the wake of 9/11, a Manhattan
psychiatrist treats a favoured patient reeling from the destruction
of the World Trade Center, but fails to detect the damage she
herself has sustained. In this trio of stunning tales from a master
storyteller, Patrick McGrath excavates the layers of New York's
turbulent history.
