pickI first read this book in 2007 and hammered through it in days. It follows the long life of an Irish immigrant to New York in the 1700‘s, through the slave trade, a couple wars...it is a fiction written about the history of Manhattan (and NYC) and how it went from a disgusting slum to the metropolis it is today. It also has some Irish folklore and African magic in it. “Forever” is easily in my top 5 favorite books of all time. #PeteHamill #Forever
