A review by susannavs
New York by Edward Rutherfurd

4.0

I rounded up from 3.5 stars - this was not as good as some of Rutherford's other books. It was a pity that, as other reviewers noted, there wasn't much ethnic diversity throughout the novel. What I did particularly like was that most of the MAJOR events in NY's history were mentioned, but not dealt with directly. That would have been too easy - this way, Rutherford was forced to think about the people, not the events. Rutherford's sagas are always ambitious, and I love them.
