The Lake Shore Limited by Sue Miller

4.0

Billy Gertz writes a play, The Lake Shore Limited, about a train carrying a terrorist bomb that explodes while pulling into the train station. The play is about how the bombing affects a family waiting to hear the fate of one of the passengers. The themes clearly reflect attitudes and anxieties in the post 9-11 world. The book is told from the point of view of four characters whose lives were changed by 9-11 and by the unexpected circumstances in which they find themselves. A very well-written work reflecting on how 9-11 affected all of our lives. Highly recommended.
