Publisher Description
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.
Customer Reviews
Great fantastical historical novel.
Wonderful historical treatment. Vivid picture of NYC through the ages. Ending to sudden and vague. A disappointing last page.

This is a haunting story both picturesque and magical as you time trip through the history of New York. One man who lives on and on takes the reader back in time and let's you walk the streets of ny over many centuries. You will never walk down a cobbled street in NYC without thinking about the history of those who lived years ago.
