ISLAND OF BOOKS

[dariaw]

FANDOM NAME: The Island of Books (2005) - book by Dominique Fortier

WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: SO MANY THINGS:
-Luscious descriptions of Mont St. Michel through the ages
-Intrigue and historically fascinating things from the 15th century and other times
-Monks being mysterious and occasionally adorable
-A modern woman trying to make sense of the past
-"Foster brothers" who are complete opposites and rarely agree but terribly protective of each other
-A Renaissance artist falls in love with an aristocrat's wife beyond his reach - so much angst
-Gorgeous descriptions of old books and the amazing stories in them
-The book makes you feel like you're in a different time and place - it's all about the mood.

Also: the book is a fast read, and very, very fic-able - there are lots of characters, stories, and relationships that are just crying out for a fanfiction treatment.

WHERE CAN I FIND IT?: Libraries, your local bookstore, online https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/29633650-the-island-of-books

Hello - we're having trouble finding the character 'Roger'. Is this maybe a Robert? Thanks.
