The Given Day - A Novel

From Dennis Lehane, New York Times bestselling author of Mystic River and Shutter Island , comes the paperback edition of The Given Day , an unflinching family epic that captures the political unrest of a nation caught between a well-patterned past and an unpredictable future. This beautifully written novel of American history tells the story of two families--one black, one white--swept up in a maelstrom of revolutionaries and anarchists, immigrants and ward bosses, Brahmins and ordinary citizens, all engaged in a battle for survival and power at the end of World War I.
