TransAtlantic
Colum McCann
Publisher: Random House Trade Paperbacks | Format: Paperback | Page Count: 336
Coming off the National Book Award for Let the Great World Spin, McCann braided Frederick Douglass in famine-era Ireland, the first nonstop Atlantic flight, and the Good Friday peace negotiations into a single novel about crossings. The Luminaries' year had no room for it. Quieter than its predecessor and more disciplined, it has aged into the better book.
