A magical love story, inspired by the legend of a woman who vanished from Grand Central Terminal, sweeps readers from the 1920s to World War II and beyond.
Delving into Grand Central Terminal\'s rich past, Lisa Grunwald crafts a masterful h.
But when the construction of another landmark threatens their future, Nora and Joe are forced to test the limits of freedom and love.
With infinite love in a finite space, they take full advantage of the "Terminal City" within a city, dining at the Oyster Bar, visiting the Whispering Gallery, and making a home at the Biltmore Hotel.
As thousands of visitors pass under the famous celestial blue ceiling each day, Joe and Nora create a life unlike any they could have imagined.
It isn\'t until she meets Joe that she begins to understand the effect that Time is having on her, and the possible connections to the workings of Grand Central and the solar phenomenon known as Manhattanhenge, when the sun rises or sets between the city\'s skyscrapers, aligned perfectly with the streets below.
Nora, a fiercely independent aspiring artist, is shocked to find she\'s somehow been trapped, her presence in the terminal governed by rules she cannot fathom.
Finding her again--and again--will become the focus of his love and his life.
Captivated by Nora from her first electric touch, Joe despairs when he tries to walk her home and she disappears.
Nora Lansing is a Manhattan socialite whose flapper clothing, pearl earrings, and talk of the Roaring Twenties don\'t seem to match the bleak mood of Depression-era New York.
