Alberto Manguel recommends
Mirrors (2009)
Eduardo Galeano
"Heroes rub shoulders with villains and apes in Eduardo Galeano's magical history of mankind."
What Casanova Told Me (2004)
Susan Swan
"Susan Swan has given us a great romantic novel. What Casanova Told Me is a graceful and literate meditation on the uneasy relationship between the New World and the Old, on the gossip of history, and on the nature of love."
