Description
A panoramic novel set in New York City during the catastrophic blizzard of February 1978.
On February 6, 1978, a catastrophic noreaster struck the city of New York. On that night, in a penthouse in the Upper West Sides stately Apelles apartment building, a crowd gathered for a wild party. And on that night, Mr. Albert Haynes Caldwell-a partner emeritus at Swank, Brady & Plescher; Harvard class of 26; father of three; widower; atheist; and fiscal conservative-hatched a plan to fake a medical emergency and toss himself into the Hudson River, where he would drown.
In the eye of this storm: Hazel Saltwater, age six. The strange events of that night irrevocably altered many lives, but none more than hers. The Blizzard Party is Hazels reconstruction of the facts, an exploration of love, language, conspiracy, auditory time travel, and life after death. Cinematic, with a vast cast of characters and a historical scope that spans World War II Poland, the lives of rich and powerful Manhattanites in the late 1970s, and the enduring effects of 9/11, Jack Livingss The Blizzard Party is an epic novel in the form of a final farewell.
