This widely praised bestseller is the magical, epic tale of an extraordinary man who arrives in New York in 1740 and remains. . . forever. Through the eyes of young Cormac O'Connor—granted immortality as long as he never leaves the island of Manhattan—we watch New York grow from a tiny settlement on the tip of an untamed wilderness to the thriving metropolis of today. And through Cormac's remarkable adventures in both love and war, we come to know all the city's buried secrets—the way it has been shaped by greed, race, and waves of immigration, by the unleashing of enormous human energies, and, above all, by hope.

I am entering part 8 of the book and all I can say is wow. I certainly am not looking forward to the end of the book. I fell as if I have seen New York through Cormac's eyes. From the early days until now.
I finished Forever and loved the book. I plan on reading more of Pete Hamill's work.
Hey Felicia.. thanks for the recommendation. toni
