Author's second novel. His follow-up to his 2001 debut, No One Thinks of Greenland. The epic story of the laying of the first transatlantic telegraph cable. "Successfully slathering on layers of Dickens and DeLillo, Griesemer goes for the big canvas... Storms, war, explosions, sex, science, tragedy, and deep affection. Worth every minute." –Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
