Description

Paradise Alley is a slum in New York City, and in 1863 it is the site of the riots that occurred when working-class men who were too poor to avoid military service through bribes were drafted into the army. The story is told from the viewpoint of a New York Tribune reporter, and supplemented by the tales of a large cast of characters, including Ruth Dove, a survivor of the Irish Potato Famine, her black husband Billy, and the evil Johnny Dolan, a murderous ex-con who is stalking Ruth. A New York Times Notable Book for 2002.
