Applying Wyatt's principles again, here is a book where the setting is actually a character in this huge family saga.  It is Rutherfurd's expansive history of a great city, his novel, New York.  I chose this one for three appeal factors, the setting, the impressive  historic detail, and for learning/experiencing the storied history of Manhattan.  His latest, Paris, is on our new book shelves.

I will be recommending Elle Newmark's The Sandalwood Tree, and Lisa Scottoline's Don't Go to fellow bookish staffers tomorrow.
