About this ebook
This widely acclaimed bestseller is the magical, epic tale of an extraordinary man who arrives in New York in 1740 and remains . . . forever.
Through the eyes of Cormac O'Connor -- granted immortality as long as he never leaves the island of Manhattan -- we watch New York grow from a tiny settlement on the tip of an untamed wilderness to the thriving metropolis of today. And through Cormac's remarkable adventures in both love and war, we come to know the city's buried secrets -- the way it has been shaped by greed, race, and waves of immigration, by the unleashing of enormous human energies, and, above all, by hope.

This is one of my all-time favorite books. I've recommended it to every one of my friends looking for something new to read, and the only reason I'm not considering re-reading it myself this summer is because my best friend is borrowing my copy (since I demanded she read it!) Seriously. Read this book, you won't regret it :)

I finally decided to just purchase this book as an ebook, because I have bought it twice now and twice now I have lost it to those I borrowed it to! Whether that says something about the book or those I lend to, I'm not sure. Either way, this book is a great story and the ending never ceases to bring awe to those I suggest reading it.
