“Swerling nimbly weaves fact-based history and fast-paced fiction into a vivid tableau of 1870s Manhattan.” —Entertainment Weekly
“Riotously entertaining . . . Clearly, if Swerling had been my history teacher, I would have paid closer attention.” —Ron Charles, The Washington Post
“Love, life, adventure, big business and the dazzling glamour and appalling squalor of the city that never sleeps. Even way back in the 1860s.” —Anne Bendheim, Asbury Park Press (New Jersey)
“With a fast-paced, complex plot showcasing opulent Fifth Avenue mansions, Wall Street pandemonium, deals both fair and underhand, and the rising influence of the ethnic gangs, Swerling expertly interlaces the stories of a Gilded Age couple and their magnificent city.” —Sarah Johnson, Booklist
