<DIV><b>The emotionally realistic and elegant portrait of mourning in the days and months following 9/11</b></div><DIV><BR>As Renata, a linguist for the New York City Public Library, crosses the Brooklyn Bridge on her way to work one morning, she looks up to see a flash of orange and blue. Two planes have hit the World Trade Center, and with that, her world changes entirely.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>Renata&rsquo;s connection to the tragedy grows deeper as her boyfriend, an overzealous social worker, begins to take care of a baby orphaned by the attacks. And then she meets a mute teenage girl in the rubble of the Twin Towers who may or may not be her long lost niece&mdash;a family connection as tenuous as it is painful. The winner of <i>New York</i> magazine&rsquo;s Best Literary Fiction award in 2005, this novel evocatively represents the forms of grief in the wake of major trauma.</div>
