The Lions of Fifth Avenue

The setting feels so rich and layered with history — I wonder if the author has a personal connection to the location or if it was purely fictional.

The reveal of long-hidden truths added so much depth, but I kept wondering how much of this felt personal to the author or was inspired by real stories.

The atmosphere of New York in the 1930s and 1960s is vivid, but I’m curious if the historical elements were meticulously researched or more inspired by general history.
