Looking for recommendations where a combination of a fiction and non-fiction books lead to increased understanding/enjoyment of both books.
As examples:
Godborn by Dan Davis – Origin story of Hercules set in Bronze Age Europe
pairs well with:
Proto by Laura Spinney about how the Proto-Indo-European language spread and evolved into the languages we have today
—————
And The Bone Rattler by Elliott Pattinson (a thriller set in 1750s colonial America)
pairs well with:
Crucible of War by Fred Anderson (about the French and Indian War)
by Baratticus
