TransAtlantic

Colum McCann demonstrates once again why he is one of the essential authors of his generation. In a soaring novel that spans continents, leaps centuries, and unites a cast of deftly rendered characters both real and imagined, three iconic crossings between Ireland and North America are connected by a series of remarkable women whose journeys mirror the shape of history. The most mature work yet from an incomparable storyteller, TransAtlantic is a profound meditation on a wide world that grows somehow smaller and more wondrous with each passing year.
