The following review appears on the Amazon website: “Like James Michener and Leon Uris, Rutherfurd does a magnificent job of packaging a crackling good yarn within a digestible overview of complex historical circumstances and events.” —Booklist
This is exactly the reason I enjoy reading Edward Rutherfurd's novels so much. Last night, in a discussion with a fellow enthusiast at a Christmas party, I found out that New York is now available and I can't wait to start reading it. Historical fiction is one of my favourite genres as I love to learn while reading an engaging narrative. History is so much easier to digest within a good story line especially when you can live it through the character's trials and tribulations as they experience historical events. And, the city of New York would definitely have an interesting and rich history!
