The Bonfire of the Vanities for 2010! A powerful, deeply involving novel of the modern world - a world in crisis, where individual humanity is pitted against the global marketplace.
Doug Fanning lives an apparently gilded existence. A Gulf war veteran turned banker at the vast investment bank Union Atlantic, he is wealthy, handsome and powerful - the epitome of Wall Street success. Charlotte Graves lives in self-imposed exile deep in the forrests of rural Massachusetts, stubbornly refusing to engage with a country she feels to be morally bankrupt. When Fanning decides to build himself a sprawling mansion adjacent to her home, her isolation is threatened and she is determined to evict him from his land and, if she can, his kind from her country.
Union Atlantic is a deeply involving novel of the modern world - a world in crisis, where individual humanity is pitted against the global marketplace, and we must decide what, in the end, we value most highly.
