Doug Fanning lives an apparently gilded existence. A Gulf war veteran turned banker at the vast investment bank Union Atlantic, he is wealthy, handsome & powerful
- the epitome of Wall Street success. Charlotte Graves lives in self-imposed exile deep in the forests of rural Massachusetts, stubbornly refusing to engage with a country she feels to be in morally bankrupt. When Fanning decides to build himself a sprawling mansion adjacent to her home, her isolation is threatened & she determines to evict him from his land &, if she can, his kind from her country. Union Atlantic is a deeply involving novel of the modern world
- a world in crisis, where individual humanity is pitted against the global marketplace, & we must decide what, in the end, we value most highly.
