β¦ Synopsis
From the author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist You Are Not A Stranger Here, a stunning, masterful portrait of our modern gilded age.
At the heart of Union Atlantic lies a test of wills between a retired history teacher, Charlotte Gravesβwho has suddenly begun to hear her two dogs speaking to her in the voices of Cotton Mather and Malcolm Xβand an ambitious young banker, Doug Fanning, who is building an ostentatious mansion on what was once Charlotteβs family land. Drawn into the conflict is Nate Fuller, a troubled high-school student who stirs powerful emotions in both of them. What emerges is a riveting story of financial power, the defense of tradition, and the distortions of desire these forces create. With remarkable scope and precision, Union Atlantic delivers a striking vision of the violent, anxious world weβve come to inhabit.
