Description
Thrust by Lidia Yuknavitch is an epic novel that weaves together three interconnected storylines to explore the lives of those who built and struggled with a colossal statue. The dream conceived by its sculptor, Frédéric, becomes a reality through the efforts of Aster, a construction worker, and his daughter Laisvė, a "carrier" with a unique gift. As the monument rises, it attracts the attention of those seeking freedom, including Aurora, an American lover, and Mikael, an Eastern European orphan locked in an American prison. Through these braided narratives, Yuknavitch bridges two centuries, tracing the turbulent wake of the statue's construction and its impact on those who lived with its imperfect shadow.
