Search - Heyday

I thought this book was a bit slow to get started, but I'm glad I stuck with it. I think there were too many characters in the beginning, but once the story focused on the four main characters (okay, maybe there were five or six), it was a delightful journey back in time. The author was able to convey a lot of historical information about what was going on in America (and elsewhere) during that time frame, which really made the story come to life.

Fantastic and epic tale of a motley group of friends who are in the midst of the heyday of revolution. The characters are well developed and the story, while fictitious reflects the obvious care that the other gave to research of the time - its trends, language, styles, culture and crimes. Fans of historical fiction (i.e. Devil in the White City) will enjoy this book.
