Book Description

Doug Fanning lives an apparently gilded existence. A Gulf war veteran turned banker at the vast investment bank Union Atlantic, he is wealthy, handsome and 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 and she determines to evict him from his land and, if she can, his kind from her country.

Union Atlantic Main Edition is a deeply involving novel of the modern world – a world in crisis, where individual humanity is pitted against the global marketplace, and we must decide what, in the end, we value most highly.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Absolutely brilliant. –Kate Atkinson

Adam Haslett has the rarest of talents: the ability to combine a powerful intelligence with storytelling that is both elegant and suspenseful, and to break your heart in the process. Union Atlantic is a masterful portrait of our age. –Malcolm Gladwell

This is the rare novel that is both urgently of its time and fully true to itself. Adam Haslett saw it all coming: our particular moment, our particular crisis. And because he was so far ahead of our leaders and our opinion-makers – because he is a true writer – he could take the time to fashion a book of exceptional maturity, completeness, compassion, comedy and suspense. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen an American novelist reach for so much and achieve so much of what he’s reached for. –Jonathan Franzen

Book Description

‘An enthralling, lucid and superbly confident work of art that grips from the first page… This is a big novel and a masterful debut by a writer whose talent is equal to his project, and whose project could not be more timely.’ Chris Cleave
