About the Book

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.

Review :
It is, simply, perfect Majestic Quite simply one of the best, most sustained pieces of fiction I’ve read in some time ... A novel of true resonance and power His vivid, reactive and heartfelt fiction lives and breathes, sighs and weeps Beautifully hypnotic … Those who can’t see the point of historical novels will find their answer here A very gifted, charming writer; in full, rhapsodic-onrush mode, he is hard to resist Beautifully poignant

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
