Angels of Detroit Author: Christopher Hebert
ISBN: 9781632863638 Format: Hardcover Number Of Pages: 432 Published: 24 August 2016 Country of Publication: US Dimensions (cm): 24.2 x 16.1 x 3.3 Description: A kaleidoscopic novel of an iconic American city, of abandonment, hope, violence, and resilience--and of lives intersecting on the city's margins.
Once an example of American industrial might, Detroit has gone bankrupt, its streets dark, its storefronts vacant. Miles of city blocks lie empty, saplings growing through the cracked foundations of abandoned buildings.
In razor-sharp, beguiling prose, Angels of Detroit draws us into the lives of multiple characters struggling to define their futures in this desolate landscape: a scrappy group of activists trying to save the city with placards and protests; a curious child who knows the blighted city as her own personal playground; an elderly great-grandmother eking out a community garden in an oil-soaked patch of dirt; a carpenter with an explosive idea of how to give the city a new start; a confused idealist who has stumbled into debt to a human trafficker; a weary corporate executive who believes she is doing right by the city she remembers at its prime--each of their desires is distinct, and their visions for a better city are on a collision course. <br
