A review by iugirljenn
New York by Edward Rutherfurd

5.0

Amazing. Follows a few families throughout the history of Manhattan starting in 1664 and ends in current time. While a fictional account, Rutherfurd clearly did his research and really knew the city he was writing about, making history come alive by intermingling historical figures into the lives of his fictional families. I expected more from the ending but after the 1950s it fell kind of flat and seemed like the last 50 years was added as an after thought- super sparse on details and major events. I do have to say I can't wait to read his other books!!
