A chance encounter leads to a shocking realization – and a journey of self discovery
Andy is a British graphic designer who has been living in New York for a couple of years – but a chance encounter unravels his understanding about himself. Andy’s typical Tuesday routine is disrupted when a stranger in New York’s Bryant Park calls out to him, “Hey, Gino – see you later in Dillons!”.
He determines to discover when ‘later’ was and sets up watch in Dillon’s bar, where he comes face-to-face with Gino – his identical twin.
Join them on an emotional – and at times harrowing journey of Self-discovery over six weeks as they learn more about their separate adoptions, about who they both are – and in discovering DNA secrets, where they actually came from.
Reviews
5.0 out of 5 stars Emotional and quick read
Just another Tuesday in Manhattan is a fast read novella about identity, family secrets, and an unexpected reunion that reshapes the lives and reunites a family. This is an emotional story, but one that reminds us how much the world has changed and yet we can still relate the themes of societal judgment. It is a fascinating and fun fast read well worth the time.
5.0 out of 5 stars Warm and cinematic book. good life lesson
“I love this type of writing, warm, cinematic, and full of natural dialogue, and the author’s sense of humor point is good too!. The story itself runs deep, and I really loved the way it ends. It feels like a hopeful catharsis, with a genuinely warm reunion (sorry for the spoiler!). I’m sure if you read it, you’ll understand exactly what I mean.“
5.0 out of 5 stars Captures the pulse of New York City with a sharp eye and a quietly reflective voice.
“Just Another Tuesday in Manhattan” is a thoughtful and immersive read that finds meaning in the mundane. Christopher Tradgett delivers a quiet, well-crafted story that resonates with anyone who has ever paused to wonder about the lives unfolding around them in a crowded city.”
