The Historian ~ Elizabeth Kostova
Summary: Chasing down Dracula
This is a rather interesting
read. It is another work concerning the tale of
Dracula. Elizabeth Kostova has blended fact with a
fictional story line. This tale is told by the
daughter of the Historian. She is reading the notes
and letters from her father who has suddenly gone
missing, who in turn is recounting the search for his
Professor who was snatched by Dracula years before.
The story traces the family line back through several
generations and uncovers a family's connection with
an evil past.
For me, this was a slow read for the first half of
the book and at times the characters can be
frustrating. But this aside, it is still an excellent
book and well worth the time.
