Our volunteer Elaine recommends:
The Thread by Victoria Hislop
Set in Thessaloniki the reader is transported to 1917, whilst the Prologue fast forwards to 2007.
Victoria Hislop weaves her magic through the pages just like the thread within her story.
Short stories are also available by Victoria Hislop.
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
The Night Circus comes to town but this is no ordinary circus. Read how the circus affects its audiences. We are introduced to the illusionist in the first few pages of the novel. It is a beautifully crafted book and a joy to read.
I particularly liked the presentation of the book in the hardback format.
