If you like history this book is a definite read before, or after, you visit New York, especially downtown, where it is all set. No, it’s not all set there….it starts in the Netherlands in 1624 and then moves to the new trading settlement in Manna-hatta. Many of the characters share the names of real settlers, but their development comes from the author’s imagination.
