A review by mcallima
New York by Edward Rutherfurd

4.0

This was my first audio book, so the beginning was kind of rough. I'd forget to pay attention, or someone would interrupt me and I had to re-listen to pieces. I finally got in a good rhythm though and fell in love with this book. The book begins in the 1600s and follows one primary family and other related characters through to 2009 in New York. From the days of an important trading port in the New World to the present day metropolis we all know and love, the book takes you through the major history of New York City. It was surprisingly poetic and haunting. Especially the wampum belt which is handed down through the family for generations. It's full of war, love, loss and victory. I cannot say enough! It was wonderful!
