I love Mark Helprin and his writing style, and because I appreciate his language in his literature, I was absolutely entranced by this novel. It is beautiful, it is magical, it is fantastical, and I LOVED IT! I'm also a native New Yorker and the locations and his descriptions of them transported me to the city I adore, all the while imagining myself standing in the shadows watching this epic tale unfold.
