书籍简介

1974年8月，纽约:一个人在天空中行走。在新建的双子塔之间，这个人在空中旋转。在远处，完全陌生的人们的生活转向彼此:科里根，一个在布朗克斯工作的激进爱尔兰僧侣;克莱尔，一个精致的上东区家庭主妇，因儿子的死而眩晕;劳拉，一个吸毒成瘾的年轻艺术家;格洛丽亚，尽管几十年的艰辛，坚强而骄傲;蒂莉，一个妓女，曾经梦想更好的生活;还有她美丽的女儿Jazzlyn，她所做的承诺远远超出了纽约的地平线。在一个鲁莽而美丽的行为的阴影下，这些不同的生活将碰撞，并永远改变。

It's New York, August 1974: a man is walking in the sky. Between the newly built Twin Towers, the man twirls through the air. Far below, the lives of complete strangers spin towards each other: Corrigan, a radical Irish monk working in the Bronx; Claire, a delicate Upper East Side housewife reeling from the death of her son; Lara, a drug-addled young artist; Gloria, solid and proud despite decades of hardship; Tillie, a hooker who used to dream of a better life; and Jazzlyn, her beautiful daughter raised on promises that reach beyond the skyline of New York. In the shadow of one reckless and beautiful act, these disparate lives will collide, and be transformed for ever.
