About this title

Review:

`In his own gritty and lyrical voice, Colum McCann has lifted up a handful of souls to the light in this bighearted, adroit, and probing novel, and brought forth a spectrum of the painful, the beautiful, and the unexpected'

Book Description:

`This is a gorgeous book, multilayered and deeply felt, and it's a damned lot of fun to read, too. Leave it to an Irishman to write one of the greatest-ever novels about New York. There's so much passion and humour and pure lifeforce on every page of Let the Great World Spin that you'll find yourself giddy, dizzy, overwhelmed'
