Book of the Month-May
It is August, 1974, and a tightrope walker is running, dancing, leaping between the twin towers, suspended a quarter-mile in the sky. In the streets below, ordinary lives become extraordinary as award-winning novelist Colum McCann crafts this stunningly realised portrait of New York and its people.
