I've shied away from movies, fiction, etc. relating to 9/11; the subject just seemed too painful. But when this became my bookclub selection for May, I felt obligated to read it. I'm glad I did. We talked about this book for an hour before it was time to disband (this bookclub meets for one hour once a month and focuses solely on the book), and I think we could have gone longer.
The central premise is that there has been a blind competition for the design of a 9/11 memorial in NYC. The panel of 12 painstakingly reaches agreement that one design should be chosen. And then the designer's name is revealed: Muhammad Khan.
This is the author's first novel, and it is a remarkable work.
