broxeph 's review for:

Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin
5.0

Winter's Tale paints a beautifully romantic, vibrant picture of a New York that could have been. Weaving together themes of love, timelessness and justice, the book brings together a larger-than-life cast of characters, each engaged in their own adventure of discovery.

Helprin's prose is engaging, witty and deftly humorous, writing with an elder's introspection and the innocent wonder of a child. Winter's Tale is an epic of the highest caliber.
