Continental Drift

<p><strong>“The most convincing portrait I know of contemporary America . . . a great American novel.” — James Atlas, <em>The Atlantic Monthly</em></strong></p><p><strong>From acclaimed author Russell Banks, a masterful novel of hope lost and gained</strong>—<strong>a gripping, indelible story of fragile lives uprooted and transformed by injustice, disappointment, and the seductions and realities of the American dream.</strong></p><p>Banks''s searing tale of uprootedness, migration, and exploitation in contemporary America brings together two of the dominant realms of his fiction—New England and the Caribbean—skillfully braided into one taut narrative. <em>Continental Drift</em> is the story of a young blue-collar worker and family man who abandons his broken dreams in New Hampshire and the story of a young Haitian woman who, with her nephew and baby, flees the brutal injustice and poverty of her homeland.</p><p><em>Continental Drift&#
