And as domestic crises multiply, a global disaster is looming on the horizon... HERE I AM is a masterpiece about how we live now. Quatrième de couvertureA monumental new novel from the bestselling author of" Everything Is Illuminated" and" Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close"Unfolding over four tumultuous weeks, in present-day Washington, D.C., "Here I Am" is the story of a fracturing family in a moment of crisis. As Jacob and Julia and their three sons are forced to confront the distances between the lives they think they want and the lives they are living, a catastrophic earthquake sets in motion a quickly escalating conflict in the Middle East.
