Each chapter in this book is a different person's story, however, each story becomes intertwined with another. While the book is centered around the man who walked the tightrope between the twin towers in New York in 1974, I felt that the main story was that of Corrigan, a Irish monk who came to New York and lived among hookers and fell in love with a beautiful woman who worked at a nursing home where he also worked part-time. Sometimes as I drive down the road and look into the other cars I wonder where is that person going, what is going on in their life? McCann brings that to life with this book showing that even though we don't know it we may be/are impacting someone else's life. Beautiful. McCann story is also written melodiously. I read most of this book on the bus to and from work each day. There were many days I would look up from my seat and forget where I was and where I was going.
