Shes come from Toronto to hike on the French island of St. Pierre and to ponder her marriage to Gerard Lefvre, a Montrealer and a broadcast journalist whose passion for justice was ignited in his youth by the death of his lover in an airline bombing. Hes a restless traveller (who she suspects is unfaithful) and shes the opposite: quiet, with an inner life she nurtures as a horticulturalist. Valeries thinking about Gerard on assignment in her native New York City, where their son Andre works. In New York City, an airplane has plunged into a skyscraper, and in the short time before anyone understands the significance of this event, Valeries mind begins to spiral in and out of the present moment, circling around her intense memories of her fathers death, her youthful relationship with troubled Matthew, and her pregnancy with his child, the crisis that led to her marriage to Gerard, and her fears for the safety of her son Andre and his partner James. Unable to reach her loved ones, Valerie finds memory intruding on a surreal and dreamlike present until at last she connects with Gerard and the final horror of that day."Has enough time passed since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, for authors to render those tragic events into fiction? For readers left disappointed by hasty attempts from Dom DeLillo, Martin Amis, and Jonathan Safran Foer, this new work from Carole Giangrande may offer an enriching alternative. All That Is Solid Melts Into Air-- a title taken from a line in The Communist Manifesto--is at once a slow rumination of those horrific events and an intense, frighteningly accurate recreation of them." --Quill and Quire...2019302All That Is Solid Melts Into Air190232https://www.gandhi.com.mx/all-that-is-solid-melts-into-air-2/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/975711/a66db378-974e-43ed-a8d3-bdec2fce9d81.jpg?v=638337112490170000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20179781771333627_W3siaWQiOiJjOWNjODM5Ni04ZWVmLTQ4NGItYThkYi03N2U3M2VmZmQxNmIiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjI0NiwiZGlzY291bnQiOjQ0LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjIwMiwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDYtMDlUMDU6MDA6MDBaIiwidG8iOiIyMDI1LTA2LTMwVDIzOjU5OjU5WiIsInJlZ2lvbiI6Ik1YIiwiaXNQcmVvcmRlciI6ZmFsc2V9LHsiaWQiOiI0MjFlOGM1Mi1lOGViLTQyNzUtOTg2OS1kYjEzNDU4N2E4OTkiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjIzMiwiZGlzY291bnQiOjQyLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjE5MCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDctMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781771333627_Winner of the 2018 IPPY Gold Medal for Literary Fiction; Shortlisted for the 2017 Mary Sarton Award for Contemporary FictionIn the morning fog of the North Atlantic, Valerie hears the frenetic ticking of clocks.
