Why read it?
1 author picked The Cartographers as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love the idea of hidden places on maps–it was really a trick to prevent theft! This book takes that academic reality and weaves it into a decades-long mystery with a satisfying–and, for me, wistful–conclusion. This book caught my eye because real paper maps are fascinating on their own, bringing far-away places to life and creating new worlds when authors like Tolkien–and Shepherd–allow their imagination free rein, taking readers to a place that exists only in dreams…or not.
The added family tensions echoed a recurring theme in my books: why are those relationships so fraught? And can they really work…
From C.L.'s list on for the puzzle-solving reader.
