Simon Watson is a sweet and hapless librarian going through the roughest of rough patches in his life when he receives a very curious book in the mail, a book that is about to change his life . . .
In the tradition of Sara Gruen's Water for Elephants, Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus, and Elizabeth Kostova's The Historian, The Book of Speculation is Erika Swyler's moving debut novel about the power of books, family, and magic.
“With its puzzling story, circus sideshow and romantic plot lines, The Book of Speculation has plenty of attractions and will appeal to many. And if you’re a lover of books about books, you’ve got another fun tome to add to your to-be-read list.” -- Toronto Star
