New York by Edward Rutherfurd
5.0
Any book that can hold my undivided attention for more than 1,000 pages gets a 5-star rating.
Wow, what a journey. Through just over 10 generations, this story swept through the history of New York like nothing I've ever read before. Even though there were many characters and each only got a small part of the book, I felt like I got to truly know each of them. Edward Rutherfurd was able to tell all sides of the same event with clear perspective, and illustrated how all would have felt during their respective times. I've now got some more Rutherfurd books on my TBR to keep an eye out for. :)
