When two planes crash into the Twin Towers on September 11th, 2001, a family is shattered. The father, living in NYC to support his loved ones in Mexico, had been bussing tables at the famous Windows on the World restaurant the day the tragedy struck. The family hears nothing for weeks and begins to despair. Refusing to give up hope however, they send young Fernando on a quixotic mission across the border to find his father and bring him home. Along the way, he experiences a warm embrace from fellow immigrants and a cold shoulder from The City That Never Sleeps. Based on the 2019 film, Windows on the World is a sensitive portrayal of a family in mourning and effectively personalises the grief felt by an entire nation. The book pulls no punches, revealing how cruelly the U.S. can treat undocumented migrants. Told with empathy and nuance, this emotionally resonant story reflects on how the pains of our recent past have shaped the character of America.
