I wanted to like this more - but it grew on me! Lee’s writing style and language choices took getting used to but then they became one of my favourite things - really transporting me to that time and place. I love the NY history and the evolution of the city - but it felt a bit slow and took me a while to get through even though it’s a slim (ish) novel.
