A well-known author for many years, Doctorow takes the reader to 19th Century New York and he pulls you into the book. It's a moral tale about the sin taking place with these people in that era. I loved it.

In a city where every form of crime and vice flourishers, corruption is king, fabulous wealth stands on the shoulders of unspeakable want, and there are no limits to larceny...it is New York in 1871.
