The novel traces New York from the Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam to the early twenty-first century through families drawn from successive waves of migration. Merchants, enslaved people, soldiers, financiers and labourers confront revolution, civil war, industrial growth, class conflict and the city's transformation into a global metropolis. Family inheritance and social mobility connect the city's colonial beginnings with its modern identity.
