Book description
Doug Fanning lives an apparently gilded existence. A Gulf war
veteran turned banker at the vast investment bank Union Atlantic, he
is wealthy, handsome and powerful - the epitome of Wall Street
success. Charlotte Graves lives in self-imposed exile deep in the
forests of rural Massachusetts, stubbornly refusing to engage with a
country she feels to be in morally bankrupt. When Fanning decides to
build himself a sprawling mansion adjacent to her home, her isolation
is threatened and she determines to evict him from his land and, if
she can, his kind from her country. Union Atlantic is a deeply
involving novel of the modern world - a world in crisis, where
individual humanity is pitted against the global marketplace, and we
must decide what, in the end, we value most highly.
