Description:

From an award-winning author comes a "wise and richly humane coming-of-age novel" (O: The Oprah Magazine).In an American landscape devastated by a flu pandemic, orphaned thirteen-year-old Cole is rescued by an evangelical couple. Adjusting to a new life, he struggles with memories of the past. As other survivors become dedicated to their own vision of utopia, Cole imagines a wholly different future for himself.Written in Sigrid Nunez's deceptively simple style, Salvation Cityis a story of love, betrayal, and forgiveness, blending the deeply affecting story of a young boy's transformation with a profound meditation on belief, heroism, and the true meaning of salvation.
