This was a complex book, the kind I like, with many stories and characters interwoven and eventually connected to each other. It is a contemporary kind of story, complete with gays, adoptions by singles, nine eleven, and Bush bashing included. But, the stories were interesting and felt pretty real. Lots of moral dilemmas explored. I've come a cross quite a few 911 events in books over the past five years, and this one was the most interesting by far. The view is more from a little distance, but close enough to feel impact. I also read Three Junes by this author.
