I just started to read a novel called The Historian (2005) by Elizabeth Kostova. Just wondering if anyone was familiar with it

I think nobody dear, but could you tell me more about it. Is it a love story? I like love stories, and I like to History.

It's not a love story (at least up to the point where I left it). It's about the legend of Dracula and it takes places in different places in Europe, like Transilvania (Romania), Hungary and Istanbul. I think it's a great novel so far.

I love lovestory of Dracula. Of course is a love story. Do you remember the movie.OMG a story of lov and fear what romantic!

No I haven't seen the movie, but I have read Bram Stoker's Dracula, and as a child I was always attracted to the story of the vampire.

If you can find a copy of The Historian, Elba, I strongly recommend that you read it, especially now that I know you love the stories concerning Dracula.

Dixie,

I bought it today. It is incredible the cost that mexicans have to pay for the culture.
The spanish translation of the book has a costo of 300 mexican pesos (almost 30 dollars), but the english version is 120 mexican pesos (a little more than 10 dollars).
Of course I bought it in english.

Wow, a book, $30? That's madness!

I'm reaching the end of the novel now. I am sure you're gonna enjoy it a lot! Let me know what you think of it as you are reading it

I finished it last night. An amazing novel. Loved it.
