The Given Day : A Novel
by Dennis Lehane

Set in Boston at the end of the First World War, bestselling author Dennis Lehane's extraordinary eighth novel unflinchingly captures the political and social unrest of a nation caught at the crossroads where past meets future. Filled with a cast of richly drawn, unforgettable characters, The Given Day tells the story of two families--one black, one white--swept up in a maelstrom of revolutionaries and anarchists, immigrants and ward bosses, Brahmins and ordinary citizens, all engaged in a battle for survival and power. Coursing through the pivotal events of a turbulent epoch, it explores the crippling violence and irrepressible exuberance of a country at war with, and in the thrall of, itself.

"The Given Day is a vast historical novel.... Spectacular details.... Finely thought-out.... Many stunningly managed scenes. "
--Boston Globe

"This may be Lehane's finest work.... But The Given Day is more than a history lesson.... Lehane captures the essence of being American in a fast-changing society that eerily reflects our own."
--USA Today
