A review by ajreader
In Sunlight and in Shadow by Mark Helprin

3.0

Read my full thoughts on this book and hundreds more over at Read.Write.Repeat.

It's certainly a commitment to read this book. If you have the time and inclination, I think it's worth the effort. It's slow at times, but, overall, I thought the story was lovely. If you can get past some of Helprin's loquacious writing and you're ok without a "happily ever after" ending, then I think you could well enjoy this one.
