Description
New York is a sweeping epic novel that spans centuries, from the early days of the New World to the modern city that never sleeps. The story begins with a small Indian fishing village and the Dutch traders who first settled in the wilderness, setting the stage for the British settlers and merchants who followed, bringing with them their own hopes and dreams.
The city's history is marked by conflict and upheaval, from the rebellion and war that led to the birth of the American nation, to the deadly riots and civil war that tore the country apart. Yet, despite the challenges, the city has always been a place of freedom and opportunity, where immigrants from all over the world came to seek their fortunes.
The novel tells the story of the city's rise and fall, through a cast of fictional and true characters whose lives intersect and overlap in complex and often surprising ways. With its richly detailed portrayal of life in New York, from the early days of the city to the present day, this is a story that will appeal to anyone interested in the history and culture of the city that never sleeps.
