  <description><![CDATA[<strong>&quot;In this bracing, visceral thriller...Hospital continually locates, in human events, the unyieldingly human experience.&quot;&#151;<em>San Francisco Chronicle</em></strong>  <p>Janette Turner Hospital's electrifying novel chronicles the lives of two strangers connected by the tragic loss of parents in a hijacked Paris-New York flight. As an adult, Samantha, one of the children set free by the terrorists, has become obsessed with the hijacking.

    <![CDATA[<strong>&quot;In this bracing, visceral thriller...Hospital continually locates, in human events, the unyieldingly human experience.&quot;&#151;<em>San Francisco Chronicle</em></strong>  <p>Janette Turner Hospital's electrifying novel chronicles the lives of two strangers connected by the tragic loss of parents in a hijacked Paris-New York flight. As an adult, Samantha, one of the children set free by the terrorists, has become obsessed with the hijacking. Under the guise of her senior thesis, she pulls Lowell, the son of a victim, into a web of terror, death, and betrayal that he has spent his adult life trying to forget. Hospital's electrifying novel is a tightly woven web of familial and national histories, of sexual and political passions, and of individual and national complicities in the age of terrorism. She probes with astonishing acuity the murky worlds of espionage and intelligence gathering, and the painful meaning of survival.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>&quot;In this bracing, visceral thriller...Hospital continually locates, in human events, the unyieldingly human experience.&quot;&#151;<em>San Francisco Chronicle</em></strong>  <p>Janette Turner Hospital's electrifying novel chronicles the lives of two strangers connected by the tragic loss of parents in a hijacked Paris-New York flight. As an adult, Samantha, one of the children set free by the terrorists, has become obsessed with the hijacking. Under the guise of her senior thesis, she pulls Lowell, the son of a victim, into a web of terror, death, and betrayal that he has spent his adult life trying to forget. Hospital's electrifying novel is a tightly woven web of familial and national histories, of sexual and political passions, and of individual and national complicities in the age of terrorism. She probes with astonishing acuity the murky worlds of espionage and intelligence gathering, and the painful meaning of survival.</p>]]>
