Historical fiction but it is based around a mystery which is not really my style.  Covers 2 time periods - 1914 Laura and her husband Jack live in the NY Library while he is the superintendent.  1993 - Sadie works in rare collections at the NY Library and is getting ready to open an exhibit.  Underlying story about stolen books but I figured it out relatively early.  Ending was just okay and kinda predictable.
