Union Atlantic é, nas palavras de Jonathan Franzen, "um romance verdadeiro, que se nutre da urgência do momento, de excepcional maturidade, abrangência e compaixão." Em vésperas da grande crise financeira mundial, o destino do jovem ambicioso banqueiro Doug Fanning e o de Charlotte Graves, professora de História reformada, entram em rota de colisão. O resultado é um romance brilhante, que traça de modo magistral o retrato social e moral de uma nova época: aquela em que nós vivemos. Union Atlantic de Adam Haslett CRÍTICAS DE IMPRENSA «Haslett desenrola o novel que é a crise financeira mundial e revela a sua essência.» The New York Times «Union Atlantic é o primeiro retrato ficcional da nossa era.

Devorei este livro.» Jonathan Franzen
