"Ragtime” by EL Doctorow
“Ragtime is set in America at the beginning of this century (1900's). Its characters: three remarkable families whose lives become entwined with people whose names are Henry Ford, Emma Goldman, Harry Houdini, JP Morgan, Evely Nesbit, Sigmund Freud, Emiliano Zapata.
It is a novel so original, so full of imagination and subtle pleasure, that to describe it further would only dilute the pure joy of reading. Turn to the first page Begin. You will never have read anything like Ragtime before. “Nothing quite like it has ever been written before.”
