Alberto Manguel recommends
 The Facts Behind Helsinki Roccamatios: And Other Stories (1993) Yann Martel "Those who would believe that the art of fiction is moribund--let them read Yann Martel with astonishment, delight and gratitude." |  Soldiers of Salamis (2003) Javier Cercas "Ceras has succeeded, with one perfectly crafted book, in single-handedly redeeming the epic genre." |  What Casanova Told Me (2005) 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. " | |
 Mirrors: An Almost Universal History (2009) Eduardo Galeano "Heroes rub shoulders with villains and apes in Eduardo Galeano's magical history of mankind." |  The Road to Wanting (2010) Wendy Law-Yone "A hauntingly beautiful book." |
