The Given Day
The Given Day: A Novel
by Dennis Lehane
Best Book of 2008 (11/27/2008)
I've not read a historical novel this good since Ragtime. Lehane has a definite Doctorow feel to his writing - carefully intermingling uncommon characters - both real and imaginary - into a real page-turner. Highly recommended.
