The Mercy of Thin Air entwines these two fateful and redemptive love stories that echo across three generations. From ambitious forward-thinking Razi who illegally slips birth control guides into library books; to hip Web designer Amy who begins to fall off the edge of grief; to Eugenia caught between since the Civil War the characters in this wondrous novel sing with life. Evoking the power of love memory and time The Mercy of Thin Air culminates in a startling finish that will leave readers breathless.
