I have another book to recommend. This is especially good if you have any interest in science or medicine. It's a true story, a biography of sorts, though written like a novel. It's called "The Immortal Life of Hentrietta Lacks". It is about a woman who died many years ago and was treated for cervical cancer at Johns Hopkins. In those days, no such thing as informed consent. They took her cells to use for science research without her knowledge or her family's knowledge. Cells were named by using the first to letters of the first name and the first two letters of the last name. They were called HeLa cells. Unlike other cells in the past that would die out after a period of time, Henrietta's cells kept reproducing and became instrumental in the discovery of medications and treatments of many dreaded diseases. The polio vaccine development used Hela Cells, as well as many other well known discoveries. The family did not find out about this for many years, and the story goes on. Great reading and such interesting information.
