New Yorker: "If September 11th was a terrible warming of New York's mortality, Hamill's entertaining panhistorical fantasy is a paean to its immortality." |

| Publisher's Note: |
There he is, three days after his fifth birthday, standing barefoot upon wet summer grass. He is staring at the house where he lives: the great good Irish place of whitewashed walls, long and low, with a dark slate roof glistening in the morning drizzle. Standing there, he knows it will turn pale blue when the sun appears to work its magic. |
