About this ebook
In plina criza economica Miles un tanar american de 28 de ani isi petrece vremea cutreierand si fotografiind peisajul dezolant si obiectele lasate in urma de familiile nevoite sa-si paraseasca locuintele ipotecate ajunse in proprietatea bancilor. Tanarul are o istorie plina de suferinta dupa un accident in urma caruia si-a omorat fratele vitreg; accidentul a atras dupa sine izolarea de tata si de mama vitrega. Dupa ce relatia sa clandestina cu o adolescenta minora declanseaza un scandal in familia fetei Miles hotaraste sa se intoarca pentru o scurta perioada in Brooklyn unde se instaleaza intr-o casa abandonata alaturi de alti locatari si ei agresati de fauna sociala si de propria neputinta de adaptare. Sunset Park construieste o atmosfera de mit in plina contemporaneitate o poveste despre dragoste si iertare nu doar intre barbati si femei ci si intre tati si fii.
