Windows On The World by Frédéric Beigbeder
The novel explores the tragic events of September 11, 2001, through the lens of a father and son trapped in the Windows on the World restaurant atop the North Tower of the World Trade Center. As they face the impending disaster, the narrative delves into their thoughts, fears, and reflections on life, love, and mortality.
