thewritehendess 's review for:

New York by Edward Rutherfurd
5.0

Wow! I struggled between giving it four stars (it's not "The Historian") and five stars, but I had to give Rutherfurd props for naming two minor characters Vorpal and Bandersnatch. Well played, Mr. Rutherfurd, well played.

Also a fantastic view of colonial New York and its usually understated role in the Revolutionary War.
