![]() Followed by the avaricious British, it isn’t long before taxation riles the population and resistance simmers. They bring with them their arrogance and ambition, aristocratic governors and educated merchants determined to wrest the future from this fertile place. It all begins in a tiny Indian fishing village on the island of Mannahatan with the arrival of Dutch settlers who see opportunity to colonize and increase their fortunes at the cost of the vast wilderness before them. Once again, Rutherfurd ( Sarum, London, The Rebels of Ireland) comes out of the gate with an ambitious novel, in this case tackling three hundred and fifty years of New York’s colorful city, the cornerstone of the evolution of the United States and a critical element in defining this country. ![]() ![]() Book review: Edward Rutherfurd's *New York* ![]()
