This is one of the best historical fiction books I’ve read in a while, it revolves around a 23-year-old Caesar taking on a corrupt Roman Bureaucrat, in court
I found the book quite boring in the beginning, but the story got better when the narrative was moved from San Francisco to Chile
In Inés of My Soul, author Isabel Allende captured her spirit, and also told of the foundation of Chile in a fascinating and entertaining manner

A mesmerizing yet profoundly sad book since we know the outcome from the onset. The author’s 27-year-old daughter fell ill with porphyria and lapsed into a coma
The author doesn’t paint Spain with rose colored glasses, he talks about bigotry, the horrible Inquisition, commerce, and economic inequality
The story is about an author named David Martin who accepts an assignment to write a book for a very rich client.
An offer too good to be true.
The book follows a young boy named Daniel and has possibly one of the best literary inventions of the decade the “Cemetery of Forgotten Books”.
Even though Don Quixote – by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra was written centuries ago I found it contemporary, charming, hilarious and accessible.
