Sal’s Book Review #2: New York: A Novel – Edward Rutherfurd
In this, the 2nd installment of “Sal’s Book Reviews”, Sal recounts Rutherfurd’s points that the political history of New York- even down to early settlers in then “New Amsterdam”, has always been a hotbed for corruption- just as much as innovation. This book takes the reader on an EPIC journey through the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, the explosion of immigration through Ellis Island, the hardships of the Great Depression, the Wall Street Stock Market Crash, WW1 and WW2, right up to 9/11. Sal says it was like a “fact check for his memory- while filling in the blanks vacated by time.”
