( )I thoroughly enjoyed this book, one of my all time favorites! I loved the historical references for both Ireland and New York. It was a well done walk through time of a great city with a great true history and the main character, Cormac, was wonderful to follow for the journey. A completely enjoyable and compulsive read with characters you're encouraged to like and the author's love of New York is evident. I also appreciated his insistance on including African Americans and the very clever way he figured out how to take us from the birth of New York through to 9/11 and the World Trade Towers. I didn't particularly like the ending, but I seem to be having a hard time with endings overall. Great for people who love books about New York. Deeply atmospheric and deliciously detailed. Mythic, mysterious, and fresh it is a book for people who are sick of reading the same story over and over. I was so pleasantly surprised by the quality of this novel that I bought copies for all my friends. It is at the top of my recommendation list. no reviews | add a review
