"Claire Harwell became a widow on the day of the 9/11 attack. Now she sits on a jury charged with selecting a fitting memorial for the victims. The winning designer is Mohammad Khan Mo - an enigmatic Muslim-American who, it seems, feels no need to represent anyone's beliefs except his own. This debut novel is peopled with journalists, activists, mourners, and bureaucrats who struggle for the advantage and fight for their ideals. In this portrait of a city fractured by old hatreds and new struggles, Waldman presents a sweeping novel of breadth and compassion.--Résumé de l'éditeur."
""A jury chooses a memorial for the victims of a devastating terrorist attack on Manhattan, only to learn that the anonymous designer is an American Muslim--an enigmatic architect named Mohammad Khan. His selection reverberates across a divided, traumatized country and, more intimately, through individual lives. Claire Burwell, the sole widow on the jury, becomes Khan's fiercest defender. But when the news of his selection becomes public, she comes under pressure from outraged family members and into collision with hungry journalists, opportunistic politicians, and even Khan himself. A story of clashing convictions and emotions, and a cunning satire of political ideals..." -- P. [4] of cover."

""When a Muslim architect wins a blind contest to design a Ground Zero Memorial, a city of eleven million people takes notice. Waldman, a former bureau chief for the New York Times, explores a diversity of viewpoints around this fictional event, bringing in politicians, businessmen, journalists, activists, and normal people whose lives--whether by happenstance, choice, or even due to their country of origin--get caught up in the controversy. Incredibly, she manages to keep all the balls in the air without ever fumbling. The story is moving and keeps the pages turning, but there are also bigger themes at work: of individuals versus groups; about the purpose of art, commerce, government, and journalism in society; of how people respond to grief and terror. The result is honest, compelling, and breathtaking."--Chris Schluep, Amazon Best Book of the Month."@en
