COLUM MCCANN - GEBRAUCHT LET THE GREAT WORLD SP...

WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD    'A wow of a novel - rich  humane  brilliantly written anda
as deep as it is wide' The Times    'An astonishing balancing act by a great writer prepared to
take risks. A book to treasure' Daily Mail   ________________________  New York  August 1974: a
man is walking in the sky.  Between the newly built Twin Towers  the man twirls through the
air. Far below  the lives of complete strangers spin towards each other: Corrigan  a radical
Irish monk working in the Bronx  Claire  a delicate Upper East Side housewife reeling from the
death of her son  Lara  a drug-addled young artist  Gloria  solid and proud despite decades of
hardship  Tillie  a hooker who used to dream of a better life  and Jazzlyn  her beautiful
daughter raised on promises that reach beyond the skyline of New York.  In the shadow of one
reckless and beautiful act  these disparate lives will collide  and be transformed for ever.
