New York: The Novel by Edward Rutherfurd

5.0

---

This epic adventure takes you from the Dutch settlers to modern day (circa 2009) of New York history. Bringing history to life with narrative fiction this engrossing is a challenge Rutherford meets splendidly. I was engaged in each generation as they grew and was absorbed in how all the vastly differing families were interwoven through time. A brilliant novel and worth a read.
