A HISTORICAL FAMILY SAGA SET IN GREENWICH VILLAGE. In 1845, Tom Endicott brings his neurasthenic wife Fanny to live in the peaceful village of Greenwich, just north of New York City on the Hudson River. Over the next 150 years, as the Village becomes notorious as the bohemian playground of New York and the safety valve for a puritan country, generations of the Endicotts live out their eventful lives. With cameo appearances by historical figures such as Walt Whitman, Henry James, Mabel Dodge, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and others.
