New York: The Novel by Edward Rutherfurd
4.0

very long. but fascinating story of NY as told through a variety of families mainly the Masters. It is more in depth in the beginning as far as building the characters and that is to its detriment later on. some families like the african american family just get lost and while that may be true to history it also feels like a gap in the book. The Italian family also feels like at some point they just disappear. But overall an enjoyable read.
