It was an ambitious story. It took the best and worst of America during a time when so much was in flux and changing daily. I don't think it quite reached the point the author was trying to reach. Also off putting was to change people and events that are etched deeply in American history. Good try though.

A brilliant beginning; a fresh, original voice. Couldn't quite make it to the end.

“It is not always possible to tell the exact moment you have separated from the earth. So much of what we know for certain is irrelevant by the time we know it.”

The writing and story were good, but the book was way too long.
