Three amazing journeys (the first transatlantic flight in 1919, abolitionist Frederick Douglass's 1845 speaking tour of Ireland, and former Senator George Mitchell's mediation of the 1998 Belfast Peace Agreement) intersect and inspire four generations of remarkable women. Believing that "fiction can capture history" and "the small moments make the large moments," McCann elegantly interweaves fact with fiction and the celebrated with the unsung." Transatlantic is a book to savor and share. (Recommended by Elise)
