Description

Gut-wrenching. A majestic, fiery epic. The Given Day is a sweeping, intensely researched novel that brings history alive. — New York Times. Dennis Lehane's beautifully written novel 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. Coursing through the pivotal events of a turbulent epoch, it explores the crippling violence and irrepressible exuberance of a country at war with, and in the thrall of, itself.
