Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann

5.0

One of the best novels I've read in a very long time. McCann's beautiful language draws you into each character's story quickly and intimately. Phillipe Petit's historic tightrope walk between the World Trade Center's Twin Towers ties together the disparate stories of immigrants, prostitutes, judges, artists and grieving mothers into a tale that is at once heartbreaking and uplifting.
