5.0

This book is super long but so worth the time invested in reading it, the story revolves around Archie Ferguson and four variations of his life. It's fascinating to see how his life changes and evolves based on a variety of both good and bad events and it's equally interesting to note the things that stay the same despite those events. Set during the 50s and 60s, mostly in NYC, it's a brilliant novel and completely deserving of the Man Booker. Highly recommended.
