Union Atlantic

Union Atlantic, the debut novel from Pulitzer Prize finalist Adam Hanslett, explores the clash between young banker Doug Fanning and retired schoolteacher Charlotte Graves in early twenty-first-century America. As Doug constructs a grand mansion on land tied to Charlotte's family, she takes legal action to challenge him, drawing in her brother, Henry Graves, the president of the New York Federal Reserve, who is concerned about the stability of the financial system. The narrative also includes Nate Fuller, a troubled high school senior, who inadvertently influences both adults in this imaginative and complex portrayal of modern societal tensions.
