In Manhattan Beach, Jennifer Egan immerses us in the New York of World War II, where Anna Kerrigan, a daring young woman, works in the Brooklyn shipyards. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she meets Dexter Styles again, a man linked to the past of her father, a show business entrepreneur. Through a hypnotic plot, Egan explores themes of social transformation, the role of women in times of war, and family mysteries that resurface in a world full of saltpeter and solitary fighters. A masterful novel that combines intrigue, tenderness, and a deep reflection on identity and destiny.
