"Teddy to Tinker.
Eve to Evelyn.
Katya to Kate.
In New York City, these sorts of alterations come free of charge."
"It's funny. The skyline at night is so breathtaking and yet you could spend a whole lifetime in Manhattan and never see it. Like a mouse in a maze."
This intriguing story transports you to 1938 in New York City. Katey begins the new year with her best friend, the vivacious Eve Ross and they meet the rich gentlemanly Tinker Grey who has a hint of mystery about him. The vibes, characters, and writing are all unique and compelling. This book is quite slow, it didn't grab me as much as pull me in, which I didn't mind but it meant it wasn't quite up to my experience reading A Gentleman in Moscow. I found the ending a bit abrupt but the whole story played so beautifully on nostalgia that I still recommend it, especially if you enjoy the author.

I had to go back and edit this review. The more time I've had to think it over, the more I loved this book. The prose is wonderful without being taxing. The characters are interesting. The theme is intriguing. It is one of those books about so many things it is hard to describe the book. Best novel I read all year.
