Summary
  • Captures the individual voices of a group of diverse and doomed people who come together in one historic moment in the Windows on the World restaurant on September 11, 2001.
  • On the morning of September 11th, a divorced father and his two small boys are trapped in the Windows on the World restaurant in the World Trade Center; an ocean away, a French novelist ruminates on the attacks and their implications from the top floor of the tallest building in Paris. Each minute between 8:30AM and 10:29AM of the fateful day is recorded in a separate short chapter replete with devastating details and subtle touches that provoke reflection and break the heart.
