The Arcanum: The Extraordinary True Story by Janet Gleeson

5.0

This is one of my favorite history books. It was the first one for me that really made it click how interconnected things are, that events in history and in an area rarely happen on their own and only influence the people directly involved.

The writing was very approachable and easy to read but I still felt I was given a lot of information and insight and the people involved felt real to me, not flat and one dimensional
