New York: The Novel by Edward Rutherfurd
5.0

Guilty, these books take me a solid full month to read, and they are always my favourite. It's historical fiction at its best. Rutherfurd takes five hundred years of history and turns it into love stories, rivalries, david vs. goaliths, and in general makes it human, interesting, and relatable for all audiences. At 1700 pages, it's not a quick read, but when Rutherfurd ties it all together at the end it's completely worth it. Can't wait to read London!
