What a book... love love love it.
This book delves into the seedy, grimy, claustrophobic, hectic and crazy movement that is London... the highs and lows the many fantastic and highly colourful periods of history all connected to the city by the river Thames.

No son cinco estrellas porque me hubiera gustado que hubiera tocado la segunda mitad del siglo XX, después de 1000 páginas...da igual unas poquitas más 😊

It is often difficult to weave history and fiction together, but Rutherfurd does this effortlessly. I look forward to reading his other works.

Epic Epic Novel!

This culminates my recent trip to London and helps to fulfill a desire to learn more about the history of London. I would definitely recommend this historical fiction novel for that purpose. I would agree with other comments that sometimes the characters were difficult to follow but otherwise a must read.
