The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert
A love story set in the 19th century.
I haven't read this book.

Eat, Love, Pray by Elizabeth Gilbert
I have read this book by the same author and didn't like it.
In fact I didn't even finish it, which is very usual for me.
A portion of it is set in Italy.
↓
Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walters
Is a love story and is also partially set in Italy.
I did like this one.
One of the main characters thinks she is dying but she is really just pregnant.
↓
State of Wonder by Ann Pratchett
Set mainly in South America.
One of the characters is also pregnant. This one was intentional.
↓
The Queen of Water by Laura Resau
Also set in South America.
The author, Laura Resau co-wrote the book with Maria Virginia Farinango.
It was a fictionalized version of actual events from her life.
↓
Schindler's List by Thomas Keneally.
Another fictional book about an actual person and events that really happened,
Oscar Schindler and the Holocaust.
↓
The Pianist by Wladyslaw Szpilman
Another survival story out of the Holocaust.
This one sounds good, but I haven't read it.
Which brings us back to...
↓
The Signature of All Things.
Our original book, which I haven't read.
This is a fun activity. Just try it. One never knows where the original book will take them. Who would guess that a love story set in the 19th century would be six degrees of separation from a nonfiction book about the holocaust?
