In the epic tradition of Edward Rutherfurd’s LONDON, a master storyteller charts the destiny of two Manhattan families against the backdrop of the War of 1812. As a fledgling nation defends itself against invaders, New York's merchants and entrepreneurs conspire in their counting More...houses by day and carouse in their brothels and gambling parlours by night. Their choices: betrayal or patriotism; a young and fragile America or a greed older than time. In what is destined to become the greatest city in the New World, a sweeping tale of pride and ambition, love and war, is played out by an unforgettable cast of characters: Joyful Turner, surgeon and hero; Bastard Devrey, desperate owner of a fleet of trading ships; Gornt Blakeman, a merchant prince who lusts to be a king; and the women who love them, Manon, Delight and Eugenue, each with dark secrets of their own; and the Wall Street money men, pirates and mercenaries, runaway slaves, shipwrights, butchers and barkeeps who fill New York's teeming streets.
Condition: Slight corner edge wear, some small tan spots inside the front cover and the first few pages. Some small spots on some pages edges. This book is in good condition.
I am selling a load of fiction books at the moment, as well as the usual from my vast collection that I no longer want or need -check out my other listings, I'm always happy to combine postage!
If you 5 books or more postage is FREE anywhere in NZ!
