Continental Drift (P.S.) - Russell Banks

What happens when you look at your life and decide to exchange everything you have for a fantasy, a dream, a wish?  What happens when you become manipulated by advertisements and rumors and personalities that make things seem too good to be true?  And how about when you love someone but no longer know who he is? Continental Drift weaves this essentially American story with the story of Haitian migrants determined to make it to America for a better life. The result is a tragic and unforgettable novel by one of the best contemporary writers today.
