Here's what we're reading this month The Lions of the Fifth Avenue by Fiona Davis

About the Book

Laura, a young mother and wife of a New York Public Library superintendent, reevaluates her priorities after joining a woman's suffrage group in 1913. Tensions build when valuable first editions books start disappearing and her husband is the prime suspect. Years later, in 1993, Laura’s granddaughter Sadie gets a plum posting as curator of the library’s highly esteemed Berg Collection of  rare books. Then famous material go missing. Sadie efforts to save her career and the reputation of the Berg collection expose tragic family secrets. A richly detailed and well researched historical fiction.
