Book Review of Paradise Alley

Paradise Alley
Paradise Alley
Author: Kevin Baker
Genres: History, Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback


"Rich in color and drama" it said on cover...so right! When you read the first two chapters or so, you're not quite into it...but keep going. What a wonderful glimpse into early New York and the poor and struggling, combined with anger and frustration over the civil war and deaths from the civil war. Well worth the read.
