“A gem of a book. And highly recommended. 1746 an Englishman arrives off the boat in New York with a bill of £1000, a huge amount. He needs a trader to exchange the bill for cash, but only has 0 days. No one trusts him… read it! Our book group loved it too 7.5/10 all around.

I’m in high scoring mood. 7.5 for this. I’m in high scoring mood. 7.5 for this. Every now and again a book hits the spot, this one did. Not perfect and I’d have liked a more explosive ending. Satirical tale of obsession, misplaced loyalties, and class. A good English novel. Yes there are couples out there and people like this!
