In exploring the lives of the characters and those of their ancestors more than a century before, 'Small World' chronicles 170 years of American nation-building from numerous points of view across place and time. And it does it with a fullhearted, full-throttle pace that asks on the most human, intimate scale whether it is truly possible to meet, and survive, the choices posed - and forced - by the age.
