Why read it?
1 author picked The Librarian of Crooked Lane as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Another entry by C.J. Archer (can you tell I like this author?) and another great blending of genres. Set in turn of the century England but including the existence of magic, the world-building is sure to immerse you and keep you reading on to the next book.

From Nellie's list on historical fiction with a dash of magic.
