'Vivid, potent, beautiful' Maggie O'Farrell
At the turn of the twentieth century, Nathan Walker comes to New York City to take the most dangerous job in the country: digging the tunnel far beneath the Hudson that will carry trains from Brooklyn to Manhattan. In the dark bowels of the riverbed, the workers - Black, white, Irish and Italian - dig together. Above ground, the men keep their distance from one another.
But a dramatic accident on a bitter winter's day welds a bond between Walker and his fellow workers, which will both bless and curse three generations. A love story of other times for these, our times, This Side of Brightness is an unforgettable story of race, faith and family.
