Produktbeschreibung

"In 1920s New Orleans, Raziela Nolan is in the throes of a magnificent love affair when she dies suddenly in an accident. Immediately after her death, she gets caught in the between--a brilliantly imagined realm that exists between life and death and the beyond. From this remarkable vantage point, Razi narrates the story of her lost love as well as the intricate story of Amy and Scott, a young couple whose house she haunts seventy years later. But it is the trials of this young couple and their serendipitous connection to Razi that finally compel her to unravel the mystery of what happened to her first and only love, Andrew. The Mercy of Thin Air is an extremely well-crafted puzzle of a novel that pieces together two tragic and redemptive love stories that parallel and collide over two different periods in history, finally culminating in a startling finish that will leave readers breathless. It is rich with characters that emerge seamlessly from eras in which they live. From plucky, forward thinking Razi, who illegally slips contraception education pamphlets into books; to hip web designer Amy who begins to fall off the edge of grief; to Eugenia caught in the between since The War Between the States, the characters in this ambitious and original debut sing with life, as well as Southern flair. The Mercy of Thin Air is a poignant and intelligent first novel that beautifully captures the nature of love and how it transcends all barriers--even death."
