For Francie's Train Trip

From Nancy:

I love Geraldine Brooks' historical fiction - Horse is her latest!
Also, I just finished The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon about an 18th century American midwife! Fantastic tale!


From Margot:

My suggestions are a bit different.
I am currently listening to Lovely One: Ketanji Brown Jackson's memoir.

I also really enjoyed Knife; Salmon Rushdie's account of his stabbing in 2022.
(I listened to this one twice.)


From Anne Marie:


I think Harlem Shuffle by Colson Whitehead is a great read. It's a caper set in 1960's Harlem so there is a bit of history thrown in as well.There is also a sequel Crook's Manifesto that is good as well but should be read after "Harlem Shuffle."

A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles is another favorite.
