‘History was never so fun to read.’ - USA Today
I loved this book because, as a person who spent lots of time in New York, especially the city, learning the history in an entertaining way was exceptional. The novel begins from the earliest settlers to NYC's hoteliers and other big players who shaped and formed what became 'The Big Apple', and so much more. Overall, fascinating and told in a way that brings characters to life and keeps the entire historical novel interesting. This is a book I liked so much I will read again and again because of the immense detail and unforgettable history of New York.
