Last week I finished The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova, easily my favourite book of the year!! I enjoy reading historical fiction but this particular style/plot weaving was completely new to me. This novel is a combination of everything I love: mystery, danger, research, libraries, ancient ruins, murder, supernatural, ancient texts, and the basis for all this is vampire lore.
What more could you ask for?
I thoroughly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a thriller and the search for truth.
Book of the year!!
My rating = *****
Carpe Librum!
