"Ühel sombusel õhtupoolikul 1746. aasta novembris sildub New Yorgi sadamas laev, mille pardalt astub maha uljas noormees, kaasas enam kui tuhandenaelane veksel, et see rahaks vahetada. Ameerika iseseisvussõjani on jäänud 30 aastat ning New York pole kaugeltki veel mingi suurlinn, ent salapärase varanduse ja võluva jutuga noormehe jaoks peitub seal sadu võimalusi. Peagi selgub, et uue elu keerises on võimalik ühtaegu leida uusi sõpru ja armuda, kuid sattuda ka enneolematutesse pahandustesse. Ootamatuid pöördeid täis romaan viib lugeja 18. sajandi New Yorgi äri- ja teatrimaailma – aega, mida täitis edumeelsuse ja vanameelsuse võitlus ning kus pandi alus tänapäevasele New Yorgile.Raamat ilmub Galluse kirjastuse ajalooromaanide sarjas ""Loo aeg”, kus varem on ilmunud Sarah Perry romaan «„Essexi siug“».„Francis Spufford on üks originaalsema mõttelennuga kirjanikke tänapäeva kirjanduses.”– Nick Hornby, kirjanik2016. aasta Costa raamatuauhinna debüüdiauhinna laureaat2017. aasta Ondaatje auhinna laureaat2017. aasta Walter Scotti ajalooromaanide auhinna nominentBriti kirjanik Francis Spufford (sündinud 1964) on üks neid kirjanikke, keda nimetatakse kultuskirjanikuks.
