SUMMARY:Jennifer Egan
DESCRIPTION:Manhattan Beach opens in Brooklyn during the Great Depression. Anna Kerrigan\, nearly twelve years old\, accompanies her father to the house of Dexter Styles\, a man who\, she gleans\, is crucial to the survival of her father and her family. \nYears later\, her father has disappeared and the country is at war. Anna works at the Brooklyn Naval Yard\, where women are allowed to hold jobs that had always belonged to men. She becomes the first female diver\, the most dangerous and exclusive of occupations\, repairing the ships that will help America win the war. She is the sole provider for her mother\, a farm girl who had a brief and glamorous career with the Ziegfeld Follies\, and her lovely\, severely disabled sister. At a nightclub\, she chances to meet Dexter Styles again\, and she begins to understand the complexity of her father’s life\, the reasons he might have vanished. \nMesmerizing\, hauntingly beautiful\, with the pace and atmosphere of a noir thriller\, Egan’s first historical novel is a masterpiece\, a deft\, startling\, intimate exploration of a transformative moment in the lives of women and men\, America and the world. Manhattan Beach is a spectacular novel by one of the greatest writers of our time. \nJennifer Egan is the author of five books of fiction\, including A Visit from the Goon Squad\, which won the Pulitzer Prize and National Books Critics Circle Award; The Keep\, a national bestseller; the story collection Emerald City; Look at Me\, a National Book Award Finalist; and The Invisible Circus\, which was adapted into a major motion picture starring Cameron Diaz. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker\, Harpers\, Granta\, McSweeney’s\, The New York Times Magazine and many others. She lives in Brooklyn.
