wvalice 's review for:
The Lions of Fifth Avenue
by Fiona Davis
I was given this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
This story is told from two point of views; Laura Lyons in 1933 and Sadie (I honestly can’t even remember her last name) in 1993. Laura is Sadie’s grandmother, who died many years ago. They are also connected by the NYPL, as Laura and her family lived there when her husband was the caretaker, and Sadie is a librarian there, focusing on rare books. They are also connected because there is a series of book thefts in both times.
I have to say, this book was well written and researched, but I still couldn’t give it any more than 3 stars. I didn’t find any of the characters very likable, other than Sadie’s niece. The ending was cliched. It was just not my cup of tea.
