«You’re soon zipping through Hallberg’s vividly realised New York like a child discovering Hogwarts for the first time»
The Times
«This book felt to me like a DVD boxset, in that each chapter was so short that I’d find myself reading just one more, just one more, and then find myself still reading an hour later. I love this book: this is definitely for me the best book we’ve done on the Book Club this year.»
Simon Mayo Radio 2 Book Club

Daily Telegraph
«Extraordinary…dazzling… a sprawling, generous, warm-hearted epic of 1970s New York»
