The Library Book, Susan Orlean. One part unsolved mystery, one part history of Los Angeles — this narrative treatment of the massive 1986 library fire was perfect for getting me out of a reading rut. East Coast readers will benefit from a bit of history about the West and all will enjoy Orlean’s story-telling skills.
The Perfume Thief, Timothy Schaffert. Another historical mystery, this one fictional. Set in occupied Paris, it explores collaboration, transgression, love, and survival. A surprising page-turner.
