Golden Hill, a novel by Francis Spufford, is set in New York in 1746. A handsome young stranger, Mr. Smith, arrives in the city, carrying an order for a large sum of money, but refuses to explain its origin or purpose. As the merchants of Golden Hill Street consider how to respond to his presence, they must navigate the risks and uncertainties of trusting a stranger with a mysterious past. This first novel by Spufford is a rich and engaging tale of 18th-century New York, with a plot that twists and turns in every chapter.
