North River by Pete Hamill

I picked up North River by Pete Hamill on the bargain books shelf; I'd never read anything by him before but it looked interesting and the price was right. What a surprise!! It was wonderful!! It is the story of a doctor in NYC during the Depression, his family, and the people (mobsters included) that he treats. Good story that hold your attention but even more is the way you are drawn into the sights and sounds and smells. You are just there with them. Good book, worth a read.
