khoar 's review for:
The Lions of Fifth Avenue
by Fiona Davis
The title is a play on words - combining a vision of the lions (Patience and Fortitude) who guard the entrance to the New York Public Library with a story of the first library supervisor, who lived in an apartment inside the library itself. The author weaves a wonderful story of the early days of the NYP Library told through the eyes of the Lyons family who lived within. It is really the story of Laura Lyons, the determined and independent wife of the library supervisor who yearns to be a journalist and her grandaughter, Sadie Donovan, a museum curator who learns the history of her family through the course of the book.
Another well-written novel by Fiona Davis, which, once again, pays tribute to the history of the great architecture of New York City. I was looking forward to reading the book and was not disappointed!
