Description: "Claire Harwell became a widow on the day of the 9/11 attack. Now she sits on a jury charged with selecting a fitting memorial for the victims. The winning designer is Mohammad Khan Mo - an enigmatic Muslim-American who, it seems, feels no need to represent anyone's beliefs except his own. This debut novel is peopled with journalists, activists, mourners, and bureaucrats who struggle for the advantage and fight for their ideals. In this portrait of a city fractured by old hatreds and new struggles, Waldman presents a sweeping novel of breadth and compassion."
