adrian reviewed The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
Top-notch historical fiction, but may be too lengthy for some
5 stars
As a history enthusiast, I absolutely loved this novel! The semi-epistolary format, spanning three generations, may not be for everyone. Plus it's really long - my paperback copy clocks in at over 900 pages!
For me, I felt this novel is just perfect fit for my preference. Highly recommended for history buffs.
