The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova

It has been a while since the last time I read an English novel and I am glad that the first book I read after that lapse of time is The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova.

page-turning, worth the read, I must say.

First of all, the book is well-researched. Kostova's good command of history gave the story a strong foundation. Adding to the richness is the vividness in Kostova's use of description. I am certain that other readers enjoyed their journey with the author from place to place as much as I did. Above all, I like how Kostova made use of the dispute on the whereabouts of Vlad Tepes' grave to develop such a rich plot. Creative. Remarkably, Kostava was able to give life to Vlad Tepes in accordance with historical records with her vast imaginations.

The book reminds of the wicked nature of vampires, which I have almost forgotten in the heroic depiction of vampires these days, especially now that I become fond of watching The Vampire Diaries.

Cannot decide on what book to read next. Will you suggest one?
