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.
