Union Atlantic

Reviews / Votes

'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

'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

'The first great novel of the new century. It's big and ambitious, like novels used to be. It's about us, now. All of us.' Esquire

'Absolutely brilliant.' Kate Atkinson
