I enjoyed reading and learning about the early settlers of what is now New York City. The story goes through several generations of families and the author does a good job of describing the characters and their feelings. If you like historical fiction, you will probably like this book.

I'm very glad there is a 'family tree' in the front of the book to follow-otherwise I would never be able to keep all of the characters straight. The medical parts are very interesting -amazing what passed for medical care those days. All in all a good historical fiction read.
