This Side of Brightness Summary

This Side of Brightness by Colum McCann

A breakthrough novel for one of the most gifted of the current generation of Irish writers. Ostensibly a love story in three generations, THIS SIDE OF BRIGHTNESS is about many other things: about the building - and decline - of America; about the races who live there; about love, hope and despair; but most of all about the survival of the human spirit.
