A Good Evocation of 19th Century New York,
By
This review is from: The Gilded Cage (Hardcover)
A treat for those who like well crafted historical fiction. We get an aroma of rough and tumble New York of 1893. The squalor, disease, poverty, corruption, cynicism, poll-stuffing. Nothing like our New York, of course, where such things have been banished forevermore.While reading this, I could not help comparing the atmosphere it evoked with that in the time travel classic "Time and Again" by Jack Finney. That was set in 1870s New York. But close enough, perhaps, from our perspective. The Dakota building figures in both, as do other landmarks. The difference is that Soos's book gives a more in-depth study of the warts and the underbelly.

This review is from: The Gilded Cage (Mass Market Paperback)
This is an excellent book. Soos keeps you turning the pages to see what is coming next. I could not put the book down until I finished it.
