Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin
5.0

A fairy tale, steam-punk masterpiece set in snowy New York City, in a Belle Epoque that never was. There's a charming thief, a story within a story and a horse that flies. It's a great big hulking huge book and it took forever to read, but only because the writing was so exquisite that I had to stop every other paragraph and gasp.

Did I mention that I liked this book?

ETA: Beware the audiobook, the narrator is not up to it.
