Swooping down into various Atlanta neighborhoods in the early 21st century, Loreen Niewenhuis populates her first novel with a diverse cast of more than a dozen characters. Like the great filmmaker Robert Altman, Niewenhuis deftly and movingly illuminates these small, individual lives, while simultaneously creating the larger portrait of a particular time and place. Atlanta is a bold and confident debut.
