Synopsis

Writer Crowley has gained a solid reputation for his erudite and compelling novels that mix elements of fantasy with plotlines that might be familiar to readers of Updike and Cheever. In this departure from his fantasy roots, Crowley focuses on the events that led to the Cuban missile crisis. Kit and her brother, Ben, have lived an itinerant life in a military family. Tracking the epic sweep of the two siblings lives as Ben joins the Green Berets and Kit engages in a complex relationship with an exiled Russian poet, Crowley delves into the Cold Ward paranoia and fear that turn the burners up on Kit and Falin as the government begins to watch them. A New York Times Notable Book for 2002.
