I just finished reading “The Historian“, a novel by Elizabeth Kostova. The plot is basically a quest, which develops over time and space for the historical Dracula. It includes several interleaved narratives, and intriguing descriptions of Turkey, Romania and Bulgaria.
My aunt and I enjoy, basically, the same type of books. We both enjoy a good tale. Hence, when I started reading The Historian, I thought I might recommend it to her as well. I asked her if she liked the horror genre, and she answered that she did not. However, she mentioned, she was in the midst of an excellent historical novel. Turns out both of us were speaking about The Historian.
This goes to show you that like many excellent novels, this one pertains to multiple genres, and can appeal to multiple tastes. Highly Recommended.
