The Swan Thieves

So I bought my copy of The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova.  I've been looking forward to reading something new by her since I finished The Historian, in 2005 or whenever.  Have you read The Historian?    If not, what are you doing reading my blog? Go get a copy and start it.  It's two or three stories in one, about the hunt for Dracula, and it's INCREDIBLE.  If you start it with no interest in seeing Eastern Europe, believe me, you won't finish it that way.
