Union Atlantic by Adam Haslett
Set against the backdrop of the 2008 financial crisis, this compelling narrative weaves together the lives of several characters whose paths intersect in unexpected ways. At the heart of the story is a young, ambitious banker whose risky decisions threaten to unravel the stability of a small New England town. As tensions rise, a retired history teacher, haunted by her past, becomes embroiled in a battle over land rights with the bank, while her troubled teenage neighbor struggles to find his place in a world that seems increasingly chaotic. Through these interconnected stories, the novel explores themes of power, morality, and the far-reaching consequences of unchecked ambition.
