Doig himself had survived the event in 1853. Reminded me of Mayflower by Philbrick. Wish history could be this interesting for our kids.
I think I liked Beautiful Ruins because I've been to the Cinque Terre. Also Turn Right at Machu Picchu by Mark Adams because I've been there and find the history of the Incans fascinating.

Haven't read any others of Jess Walter's except Ruby Ridge a long time ago.

Going to get Lawrence Hill's Somebody Knows My Name, the book that the BET series The Book of Negroes is based on which begins tonight. I really liked Isabel Allende's Island Beneath the Sea and the history of slavery in Europe, Haiti and New Orleans; have you read it?
