29-30 Oct 23 (audiobook)
First book in a fantasy series about the ‘birth‘ of New York as a living city. I enjoyed this concept - five boroughs of New York (and many old cities of the world) were embodied in quite different characters. At times I lost track a little, particularly when the woman in white appeared. Poor Staten Island - I did feel for her ignorance, anxiety and bigotism and wondered how Staten natives would feel.
