Description

From Gabrielle Zevin—the author of the critically acclaimed Elsewhere—comes the first book in the Birthright series, All These Things I've Done, a masterful novel about an impossible romance, a mafia family, and the ties that forever bind us.

In 2083, chocolate and coffee are illegal, paper is hard to find, water is carefully rationed, and New York City is rife with crime and poverty. And yet, for Anya Balanchine, the sixteen-year-old daughter of the city's most notorious (and dead) crime boss, life is fairly routine. It consists of going to school, taking care of her siblings and her dying grandmother, trying to avoid falling in love with the new assistant D.A.'s son, and avoiding her loser ex-boyfriend.

That is until her ex is accidently poisoned by the chocolate her family manufactures and the police think she's to blame. Suddenly, Anya finds herself thrust unwillingly into the spotlight--at school, in the news, and most importantly, within her mafia family.

    I just turned 39, and though you may think I'm going through some sort of midlife crisis, I actually did not realize until I began reading that this is probably geared a bit more toward the kiddies. I have this book in e-book format along with narration - called Immersion Reading - and am enjoying it quite a bit. Dont think I could do the book justice by trying to describe it, but I wanted to lend my voice to the reviews in case anyone were turned off by the obvious teenage reviewers here. Now excuse me while I go play video games & eat cereal. Honestly though: good book & I am very much looking forward to the next.
