At my wife's suggestion I read this American Book Award winner. It's not so much a novel as a series of interconnected novellas. The characters overlap, but it's not until the last third of the book that you really feel like you are reading one coherent story. While I liked each section, it was difficult having to start up again each time the novel shifted.
Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann
