Friends since childhood, musicians Max and Larry, simultaneously fall in love with Kitty, but perhaps for different reasons. Larry's ex-wife, JJ, helps Kitty cope with the men's pursuit of her, and JJ falls in love with Kitty herself. Kitty marries Larry, to her regret, and has an affair with Max, which Larry discovers. Their ruined relationships implode on September 11, 2001, as the twin towers collapse. Max leaves to lick his wounds by reporting on the war in Afghanistan. He is blown up, rescued by a Sufi mystic, survives attack by the Taliban, and returns home to joy, rejection, and death. But all is not lost in a universe of infinite possibilities. Roll Back the Sun is perhaps the greatest literary love story since Dr. Zhivago.
