#Fridayreads/Feb. 17–‘Ex Libris’ by Ross King
#Fridayreads Ex Libris, terrific novel of 17th C. London by Ross King, best known for his art historical nonfiction (‘Judgment of Paris’). Protagonist is Isaac Inchbold, a bookseller on the trail of an esoteric manuscript.
Next book up: ‘Something Fierce: Memoirs of a Revolutionary Daughter’ by Carmen Aguirre, winner of the 2012 Canada Reads: True Stories competition.
Hi Philip,Looked for Ex Libris on Kindle but it’s not available. Did find ‘Judgment of Paris’ however, and am loving the sample. Thanks for recommending this author!
Kyle loved Judgment of Paris, and also Brunelleschi’s Dome, on Florence. I’m in the last 70 pages of Ex Libris and I don’t know how it’s going to end up. This is a good review, without spoilers. I like writers who publish nonfiction and fiction.
