The Historian - Elizabeth Kostova
If your pulse flutters at the thought of castle ruins and descents into
crypts by moonlight, you will savor every creepy page of Elizabeth
Kostova's long but beautifully structured thriller
The Historian.
The story opens in Amsterdam in 1972, when a teenage girl discovers a
medieval book and a cache of yellowed letters in her diplomat father's
library. The pages of the book are empty except for a woodcut of a
dragon. The letters are addressed to: "My dear and unfortunate
successor." When the girl confronts her father, he reluctantly
confesses an unsettling story: his involvement, twenty years earlier,
in a search for his graduate school mentor, who disappeared from his
office only moments after confiding to Paul his certainty that
Dracula--Vlad the Impaler, an inventively cruel ruler of Wallachia in
the mid-15th century--was still alive. The story turns out to concern
our narrator directly because Paul's collaborator in the search was a
fellow student named Helen Rossi (the unacknowledged daughter of his
mentor) and our narrator's long-dead mother, about whom she knows
almost nothing. And then her father, leaving just a note, disappears
also.

Love Story
Love Story is a 1970 romance novel by the American writer Erich Segal. Segal adapted the novel from a screenplay he had written. A film based on the screenplay ( Love Story) was also released in 1970.
Love Story became the top selling work of fiction for all of 1970 in the United States, and was translated into more than 20 languages. A sequel, Oliver's Story, was published in 1977.
Its a very unpretentious small book; just over 150 pages but once you start reading it you will finish it in one go. What’s different about this novel is that the bulk of the novel consists of actual conversations between the characters, which is very realistic. This tragic story of love inspires and enriches anyone who reads it.
