Let the Great World Spin
"One of the most electric, profound novels . . . in years. Let the Great World Spin is an emotional tour de force. It is a heartbreaking book, but not a depressing one. [It] can feel like a precursor to another novel of colliding cultures: The Bonfire of the Vanities.--The New York Times Book Review
