gatofish 's review for:
Winter's Tale
by Mark Helprin
Oh my god, this was such a long and rambling novel. I only pushed through it because a coworker recommended it to me and loaned me her personal copy. I'm so glad it's over.
I can't really tell you what it is about, only that it seems like a convoluted love story to New York City, set in a magical reality comparable to the present. I never really knew what year it was except toward the end, and even then, it didn't "feel" like the year 2000 in the novel.
I do not recommend this novel, unless you love, live, or grew up in NYC. Otherwise, you won't know the places the novel talks about and you won't care enough to look them up.
