The Shadow Land
by Elizabeth Kostova
Pure pleasure. I loved Kostova’s first novel, The Historian, but merely liked her second, The Swan Thieves. The Shadow Land is exquisite. It illuminated a country and a period of history (post-war Communist Bulgaria) that I knew little about—and shed some light on what my in-laws were experiencing at the same time in northernmost Greece. With well-drawn characters and a mystery/quest-driven plot, this was satisfying on many levels.
