It feels so strange to read a book about what happened on 9/11. It’s been a while since I thought about what it felt like that day to be watching events unfold on the TV, but it sure came back when I started reading this book. There are 5 parts: What Just Happened, The Next Hours and the Next Days, The Drown of Things and the Swim of Things, Hold Dear, and After; and each section is told in 3 voices: Claire, Jasper and Peter. After awhile I did get tired of the sort of mystical-speak of one character in particular. But, at least at the beginning, the voices of the kids rang very true and, like I said, brought back a lot of memories. Definitely worth reading. Review by Stacy Church
