Description
Christodora is an engrossing and powerful story of loss, love, and hope set against the backdrop of art, activism, and addiction.
The novel explores the heartbreak wrought by AIDS, the allure and destructive power of hard drugs, and the ever-changing city itself. Against this complex landscape, two young artists navigate their relationships, ambitions, and identities.
As the city evolves from the activism of the 1980s to the hipster culture of the 2000s and finally to the wealthy residents of a crowded, glass-towered city, the personal lives of those around them are forever changed. A poignant and ultimately hopeful chronicle of a changing New York, Christodora evokes the despair and panic of the city at its most vulnerable.
