The Orchid Thief by Susan Orlean
4.0

Orlean turns the most seemingly mundane subjects into passionate works of art. It’s hard to explain the allure of this book - simply about orchids - except to say a talented storyteller uses her journalistic prowess to weave a tale of obsession, danger, and intrigue around one of the world’s most elusive flowers.
