Overview

A novel about the beauty and complexity of the human soul, about God, love, and justice. You will be transported to NY of the Belle Époque, to a city clarified by a siege of unprecedented winters. One night, Peter Lake - -orphan, master-mechanic, and master second-storey man -- attempts to rob a fortress-like mansion on the Upper West Side. Though he thinks the house is empty, the daughter of the house is home. Thus begins the affair between the middle-aged Irish burglar and Beverly Penn, a young girl who is dying. Because of a love that at first he cannot fully understand, Peter, a simple and uneducated man, will be driven ³to stop time and bring back the dead.² His great struggle, in a city with its own energy and beset by winter, is a beautiful and extraordinary story.
