Book Review of Let the Great World Spin

Let the Great World Spin
reviewed on + 116 more book reviews


While I didn't love Let the Great World Spin, I can appreciate it. It's a story set in New York City in 1974, standing in for NYC on 9/11, that brings the reader into the lives of ordinary citizens. The novel depicts grief, shortcomings, redemption, joy, humanity and interconnectedness. Masterful writing by the talented Colum McCann.
