The charm of this book lies in the authors clear love of New York, the attention to detail and how one actually feels transported back in time. Most of the novel is spent doing mundane things, like taking a walk, cooking kotelet, going on a shopping spree... I love how different that is and how authentic the experience feels. This is absolutely not a book that focuses on plot and I enjoy quiet stories like that.
While it is a really charming books, if not much happens I need to care for the people and giving them more than the bare minimum of character traits wasn't really a concern here. Also, the little crime plot there was wasn't that interesting to me either. Still, this was a unique read I'm glad I experienced.
