A Good Evocation of 19th Century New York

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.
