There are days when Nora Nolan thinks that she and her husband, Charlie, lead a charmed life - except when there's a crisis at work, a leak in the roof at home or a problem with their twins at college. And why not? Nora has never stopped loving New York, and their street has become a safe harbour, a tranquil village amid the urban craziness. The residents watch one another's children grow up. They trade gossip and gripes, and they manoeuvre for the ultimate status symbol: a spot in the block's small parking lot.

Then, into their secure, privileged midst comes an unexpected act of violence and their enviable neighbourhood turns into a potent symbol of a divided city. (Verlagstext)

 

Nora Nolan lebt mit ihrer Familie in New York. Sie liebt ihr Viertel, das für sie einem sicheren Hafen gleichkommt. Doch dann erschüttert ein grausamer Vorfall die Nachbarschaft und tiefe Gräben tun sich auf.
