This is one of my all time faves. I’ve read it over and over again - part history, science, mythology, mystery and romance too. Just a good read.
Incredibly fun read. I happily had to do lots of research on the French Revolution, Algiers, and chess! You do have to tremendously suspend your disbelief--but the fun read is worth it. Could definitely read again--just for the history alone.
