Summary, etc.: | An "intimate and revelatory" (Tom Perrota) novel-based on true events-charting a single sweltering summer in Atlanta that left no one unchanged. On a humid summer day, the phones begin to ring: disaster has struck. Chateau de Sully, a Boeing 707 chartered to ferry home more than one hundred of Atlanta's most prominent citizens from a European jaunt, crashed in Paris shortly after takeoff. Overnight, the city of Atlanta changes. Left behind are children, spouses, lovers, and friends faced with renegotiating their lives-the hedonism of the sixties and the urgency of the civil rights movement at the city's doorstep. |
