The one thing that struck me about The Historian was how similar it felt to other historical mystery novels I've read.

Elizabeth Kostova's The Historian is the story of a brother and sister, historians living in Soviet-era Bulgaria, who embark on a quest to learn the truth about their father, who has never written his memoirs. Their journey takes them from the library of Alexandria, through time, across seas and borders.

The Historian was beautifully narrated by ['Paul Michael', 'Justine Eyre'] who both made the story come alive with their voices. They managed to make it seem like you were there in the 1920s listening to these people's stories. I enjoyed this book and hearing it being read aloud keeps the story fresh and exciting.
