Description

Cornelius Sky is a deftly written and engaging novel that explores the complexities of human relationships in the face of adversity. Set against the backdrop of 1970s New York City, the story follows the life of Cornelius Sky, a doorman with a unique talent for buffing marble floors.

As Cornelius navigates his mundane job and personal struggles, he forms an unlikely bond with a young boy who is struggling to cope with the loss of his father. This chance encounter sets off a chain of events that leads Cornelius down a path of redemption and self-discovery.

A beautifully crafted picaresque, Cornelius Sky offers a poignant portrayal of life in the city on the edge of ruin and recovery. With its elegant prose and nuanced characters, this novel is sure to appeal to readers who appreciate thoughtful and engaging fiction.
