The Water’s Edge or Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
![]() |
Both of these novels are light hearted, easy reads in unique
settings and historically rich time periods.
I enjoyed Water for Elephants more than The Water’s Edge, but I am an
animal lover who tracks the elephants down at the zoo right after we’ve sat for
hours watching the lions and tigers. The
both have rich character conflicts as well.
Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden

This is another time period piece that I enjoyed. Golden truly immerses the reader in 1930s
Japan. A truly haunting read.
The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros

This is set in present day, but it is a novel rich in ethnic
texture. This is also a fast, easy read.
What are your favorite time period pieces? Ethnic/culture specific pieces?
