"New York, a small town on the tip of Manhattan Island, 1746. One evening, a handsome young stranger off the boat from England pitches up to a counting house on Golden Hill Street, with a compelling proposition. “A novel of such joy it leaves you beaming…verifiable gold.” THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH “The best 18th century novel since the 18th century.” BBC RADIO 4 “A cunningly crafted narrative that, right up to its tour de force conclusion, is alive with tantalising twists and turns ... This is a dazzlingly written novel. Little brilliances of metaphor and phrasing gleam everywhere.” THE SUNDAY TIMES"
