5.0

This novel paints a vivid picture of how life was like during old times and offers a compelling critique of the high society in Old New York. The author's portrayal is both stunning and searing, exposing the inner workings of the privileged elite in those days.

The characters, particularly the women, are exquisitely fleshed out, adding a delightful depth to the narrative.

No wonder this won a Pulitzer prize, definitely well-deserved.
