    About this ebook

    Manhattan Beach: by Jennifer Egan | Conversation Starters

    Manhattan Beach is the most recent work of art from author Jennifer Egan. Leaving behind her normal style of writing, Jennifer effectively depicts the World War II era from the points of view of a very strong young lady, her father, and his “boss”. Primarily following the journey of Anna Kerrigan, from childhood through adulthood, Manhattan Beach brings to life a vivid read of the mob, corruption, luck, love, hope and more. 
    One of Amazon’s “Best Books of October 2017”, this historical novel brings darkness and light together in an epic story readers won’t soon forget. “Long listed for the National Book Award for Fiction” before it was even released to the public, this is one novel that has future award winner written all over it.
