Arthur & George by Julian Barnes
4.0

Very interesting historical fiction piece about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, famed author, and George Edalji, half-Parsee lawyer arrested for crimes not responsible, and the intersection of their lives.

I must say, I am now in love with Sir Arthur. I went right out and purchased The Complete Tales of Sherlock Holmes. What a magnificent life Sir Arthur lived.

This book was very interesting, but at times was dry, reading almost like nonfiction. It took me a while to get through the novel. Therefore the four stars.
