A lot of reviews complain about the slow character building before the finale. I am not one of those people. I like my fictional characters to have this kind of depth and I really wish we got more of that in media.
The story is a smattering of paths that cross in New York at the turn of the century. Weaving in Jewish, Muslim, Middle Eastern and American stories...this story is so uniquely American. It is so full. Really, I think this book is just a masterpiece.
Minor: Death, Self harm, Grief, Suicide attempt, Murder, Alcohol, and Injury/Injury detail
