One Man Against the World by Tim Weiner

Fascinating (and horrifying, especially given the current political situation).

The Whole Town's Talking by Fannie Flagg

I was completely charmed by this big-hearted book.

The Trespasser by Tana French

Decent.

Victoria by Daisy Goodwin

I give pretty much the same review to all of Daisy Goodwin's books: this was like reading Downton Abbey. And if you are wondering: it tracks the new ITV series extremely closely, except that the book ends immediately after the engagement.

The Breakdown Lane by Jacquelyn Mitchard

This was just OK.

Rome by Rick Steves

This was enormously useful. Recommended.

The Medieval World Complete by Robert Bartlett

I read this out loud to Truman as part of our study of the Middle Ages. I absolutely loved it and highly recommend it.

Faithful by Alice Hoffman

I just don't know. Some parts of this were very well done, but others would slip into cliched nonsense.
